Sep 7 at 16:01 comment added Crazydre @Relaxed I know Gayot Fow (bless his soul!) stated fingerprints are shared within FVEY, and that in case of a match, biographic & immigration data is shared.
Sep 7 at 7:16 comment added Relaxed (+1) Does the Five Eyes agreement even cover immigration at all (beside potentially feeding no-fly lists or the like)? I never quite understood all the assumptions made about it on this website, its original focus was quite different and effective collaboration between intelligence agencies requires sharing information you don't want to be available to any random CBP officer, e.g. to protect sources and methods. If it entailed broad (reciprocal?) access to each country's law enforcement databases, it would at the very least have to be completely separate from the all the military intelligence.

Aug 27 at 13:03 comment added Johnnyjanko @Crazydre I don't think there's much at stake. Assuming the OP is a Kiwi (i.e. a low-risk country) and their ESTA is already authorized, IMO a CBP officer won't care about a DUI case years ago.

Aug 25 at 20:53 comment added Crazydre @user111403 Just double-checked FVEY and contrary to what I suspected it doesn't systematically share individuals' criminal record, at least officially... Combined with the fact that 1) OP didn't go to prison and 2) the ESTA was approved, I'm inclined to believe OP will be fine, and I personally would've tried it on. But again, since so much is at stake, OP needs to make that judgment for themselves.
Aug 25 at 20:03 comment added user111403 Judging by the OP's name, it quite likely was in New Zealand. If that's the case, can they assume that the US doesn't know or doesn't care, since otherwise the ESTA would have been rejected?
