Since the overwhelming super-majority of people will never be arrested, IMHO, someone with your colorful history most certainly should be denied participation in a trust based system.
For those who claim every U.S. citizen should be given Global Entry, I live in the real world. In that world, that will never happen. If anyone suggested that it should, the response would be to cancel the program. I prefer disqualifying objectively suspect applicants. That's the real world.
He was never convicted. Perhaps he is in lots of protest marches, and gets arrested a lot. Unless his arrest was for a customs or immigration violation that he committed but the authorities declined to prosecute, then there is no need to refuse GE.

CBP should be forced to make Global Entry the norm for all without biometrics or questioning.
I agree GE should be the norm and there should be no questioning after the kiosk clears a traveler. I don't understand how the system can work without biometrics. Without biometrics, it would be easy for someone to use anothers GE identification to enter the country.
