In California, authorities can hold someone for up to 48 hours without filing charges. During this period, officers must release or present the individual to a judge for arraignment.
If its a felony or domestic violence arrest and you were not factually innocent (I.E. someone else committed the crime or no crime occurred) that will DQ you at most places. If you were factually innocent or it was a petty charge like drinking underage, you should be fine at most places.
The Difference Between Being Arrested and Charged While an arrest often leads to criminal charges, they are separate events. You can be arrested but released without charges if the prosecutor decides there isnt enough evidence. Even then, the arrest itself can still appear on your criminal record.

What is non-conviction sentencing? This sentence means that the Court finds the person guilty of the offence but records no conviction on their criminal record. Non-conviction sentencing is quite different from conviction sentencing as the offender is acquitted of the offence.

Being arrested does not imply guilt; a conviction is a legal determination occurring after evidence is presented in court. An arrest record can have lasting negative impacts on employment, housing, and social interactions, even if charges are not pursued.
They dont go away, but you cant be retried on the same charges. Your criminal record will state you were charged with a certain crime, and the outcome of that criminal case was that you were found not guilty, and therefore not convicted. Thats the end of the case.
