Best Answer

If the rider of the bicycle is not following the rules of the road, yes, a police officer can issue a warning or ticket to the person. For example, bicycles aren't allowed on major highways--ticket. Many places now forbid riding a bike on sidewalks. Or, if you are on a street but ignoring traffic signs or signals, a bicyclist can cause accidents so yes, the biker can get a ticket.

What is it called when a police officer askes a minor questions without a parents attendance?

I don't know what or if there is a term regarding this but I do know that the minor doesn't have to answer any of the questions the police officer asks. You have the right to remain silent even if the police officer has authority. It's not a law that you must answer all questions the police officer asks you.
