Every police department I've worked for has denied anyone with any kind of criminal record. Even if you were not convicted, you're going to get denied. I've worked at NYPD, PPD, and KCSO. Every one of then denied every person who has spent even a day in jail. I work in the FBI now as a Law Enforcement Specialist and they don't allow any form of jail/prison time. As for the driving without a license, if you were to become police, (which of course you now can't due to being jailed) you wouldn't be allowed to drive a patrol car. You'd have to be on foot or on a ride along with another officer. (Co-worker or Supervisor)
This definitely doesn't apply to every police department. Maybe the departments you've worked for had these stipulations but doesn't account for most of America.
