Can you still become a police officer if warrants were on your record for a traffic stop and you did not show up at your trial date?

Yes if you take care of the bench warrants and get Court dates. Minor traffic offenses like speeding or running a red light fare not serious crimes. These traffic offenses are handled as local ordinance violations (less than a misdemeanor).

No, usually not. Ordinarily, Traffic Officers are not Police Officers-- although they can be in some jurisdictions.

In most places in the U.S. it's 21 or older. Locally to me, you can be a police service tech, which is a person that works traffic accidents and writes tickets, but is not a commissioned officer, at 19, and then once you are 21, you can be become a commissioned officer.
Can a police office allowed to overrule a traffic signal?
The whole point of having a police officer directing traffic is that he will override the traffic signals in order to create a better flow of traffic. This can be necessary during unusual happenings such as a traffic accident or a sports stadium emptying out. If motorists were going to obey the traffic lights anyway, there would be no point in putting the police officer there!
