I have a theory that PreCheck is not as random as we think. That based on the details of a person's history, they adjust the "randomness" of PreCheck. For example, a 2MM with a spotless GE background check would get "randomly" selected 1% of the time. While a brand new customer with a few misdemeanor offences, might get selected 95% of the time.
You're automatically denied for any misdemeanors within 10 years. You can appeal but no guaruntee they will overturn it.
While I was at my GE interview someone else was denied for driving with an expired emissions sticker on their car. VA classifies it as a class 4 misdemeanor. The DHS agent was telling the guy to appeal but otherwise his hands were tied.
