Would my record disqualify me from being a LE officer?

Question

Basically my record is pretty mundane, i've never really done anything bad but i sure as h**l had fun as a kid. Just musing if this would be something i could pursue.

Before 18:

Dozens of skateboarding violations (skateboarding is illegal where i live)

2 speeding tickets.

After 18:

When i was 18, me and 2 friends found cartons of cigs and beer stashed in some bushes, we took them and a cop caught us. We weren't charged with being in possession of anything but i got popped for misdemeanor possession of stolen goods as it turned out they were stolen from a nearby 7-11.

Then one speeding ticket when i was 19

I'm 26 now and haven't been in trouble since.

Answer 1

The possession of stolen property could be an issue. Especially at 18 (adult). "I found them in the bushes" is a pretty common story. Be honest and don't try to hide anything. The rest is pretty much of a non-issue.  

Answer 2

Traffic and city ordinience violations will not count against you however the posseion of stolen property probably will. Just ask they can probably tell you.

Answer 3

As long as you disclose it all, you'll probably be OK.
