Is it legal? If the off duty police officer has commited some sort of ticketable offense, yes.
Depends. He can always call someone on-duty to give you a ticket.
Yes, in some cases an off-duty police officer can give you a ticket on Ontario, Canada. However, you can fight the ticket in court.
Yes, an off duty police officer can write a ticket on or off duty. The ticket can be mailed to you, or you can be served with a subpoena to appear in court to answer to the charge on the ticket.
Yes. In most cases an off-duty officer can also issue a ticket either at that time or at a later time.
I believe so. Off duty police officers don't have to do anything during their break but they still have to enforce the law whenever they think it's nescessary.
In some states, an off duty police officer can write a speeding ticket. It will depend on the laws in your specific state. You can always go to court to fight the ticket.
yes

Yes, although the practice is generally discouraged. Police officers retain their police powers 24 hours a day, while on duty or off.
i dont think so
First, why ask that? And, probably.
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".
