Was it something I said?

In follow up from my previous Post, about Jobs in the Federal government.
I called the U.S Census bureau in regards to my application for Federal employment in the Census Bureau. My application for employment was denied.

I am trying follow-up with questions to the Federal Census Bureau, with specific questions as to why,they barred me. I guess with the large number of applicants for the Census, if your name comes up in a Federal Bureau of Investigation background check, for a Federal job..even if you haven't been "officially arrested" or have no otherwise criminal background..you can be denied employment from the Federal Government.



After talking to the Oakland police about the incident I was arrested for back in 2000!, The Officer told, me that that it was unlikely that anybody could use that information legally against me, since it wasn't a arrest.

I'm beginning to wonder, If the reason I was being denied employment at for the Federal Bureau of the Census is because of something else. If so , how did my name come up in a FBI background check, if it wasn't because I was finger-printed and booked in 2000?

On the day I wrote this post, I received the letter from the Census Bureau notifying me that I had been rejected from from the position it reads....



I don't think its very accurate in the least, if the FBI is collecting erroneous information and the Census Bureau is using that information.
