Probably because army officers are allowed when off duty, so police officers should be able to as well.

Added: As long as they don't do it in uniform, of course they can. They don't lose their civil rights simply because of their occupation. INTERESTINGLY - police officers are held to an even higher standard than the general public, because not only can they face the penalty of law if arrested for improper actions while intoxicated, most law enforcement agencies will discipline them or terminate their employment for "conduct unbecoming" as well.

A police officer is technically on-duty 24/7, even when they're not on the clock. When they're on the clock, they wouldn't be permitted to drink, save perhaps for special functions, such as a police ball, etc.

It would not be the bar's place to question it. If an officer tries to buy a drink while on duty, ultimately it is he himself who will be in trouble, there is nothing anyone could do to the bar because they did nothing illegal.

Can an off-duty police officer give you a ticket in California?

I don't know for sure, but if they have take home cars that they are allowed to drive in their off time, I would imagine that means that they are always on duty.AnswerYes, in California it is totally legal for an off-duty officer to issue you a citation. It will usually come in the mail or they will have a marked patrol unit pull you over. If s/he elects to have you pulled over by a marked patrol unit, then after the officer contacts you, the off duty officer will issue the ticket. Also, a police officer in California has "Police Powers" anywhere in the State of California. I know this because I am a police officer in California and have written several citations while "off duty".


Does a off duty police officer not in uniform have to inform you he is an officer?

If he is engaged in activity that requires being a police officer, such as making an arrest or serving a warrant, then, yes. Otherwise, the off-duty office is not obligated to tell anyone he is an officer. One exception could be for members of law enforcement agencies that are required to disclose their status during any adverse police contact (such as a traffic violation), but those are fairly rare. In most cases, off-duty officers can leave it all at work and not take on any police responsibilities until it's time for them to go back on duty.

Yes. A police officer is able to act on any illegal activities that he may see. So in your case yes. This doesnt happen much because an off duty cop is on break and littering is a pity crime i dont see why he/she would intervene and waste his/her time.

Should a police officer be on duty on Christmas day?

I think that for every person the duty comes first and then comes the festivals. and so the officer should be on duty , as it is mainly during the festive seasons that many try to violate the rules....so no.. the police officer should not go off... but if some one can come for the duty only then the officer can take offAdded: This is NOT even an opinion matter. It is an established FACT that througout the US law enforcement is a 24/7/365 operation, just like firefighting, EMS, hospital staff, public utility workers, and other essential occupations far too numerous to even begin to mention here.
