Even after reading the comment in discussion, it is difficult to give a clear answer. Law enforcement may exercise their power to seize yuour license (a government document) if they perceive that certain circumstances exist. (e.g.: it has been altered - it has been forged - your driving privileges have been suspended - etc - etc).
Remember: The drivers license issued to you is not "your property." It is a document issued to you by the state and the state retains ownership of the document.

Can a off duty Illinois state police officer show up at your house and take your license and give you a ticket later?
It appears that there is more background to this question that is being disclosed. So, the answer is, if it was a STATE Trooper, they probably DO have the authority. If you have a complaint or a question call your local state police barracks and ask, or lodge a complaint against him.
Do you get a citation if your insurance company finds you at fault for an accident in California?
Not if it happened on private property and generally speaking if you weren't issued a ticket at the scene of the accident you most likely won't get one later. The insurance company can't issue a citation. Only the police can do that.

A police officer supposedly saw you speeding on the opposite side of the road and thirty minutes later you got pulled over by a different cop because of the first cop is this possible?
I know in my expierience with law enforcement it's called a speed trap, however, I have never heard of a situation where the person speeding was pulled over 30 minutes later. That is a big gap leaving room for error in vehicle tracking. But to answer your question one police officer running radar may have you locked in as speeding when you pass his location and pass it on over the radio to another officer down the road. I work on a military installation and we have had speed enforcement events where we would have one police officer shooting radar and a another police officer directing the vehicles speeding into a parking lot and another police officer cutting the tickets.
Do you have to do something a police officer tells you to do?
Your question is too generic to be answered effectively. It is safest to follow directions and question them later but if something is particularly offensive or questionable, ask the officer to call his supervisor to come to where you are.
Are you actually arrested when being issued a criminal citation?
No, being issued a criminal citation is not the same as being arrested. When someone is arrested, they are taken into custody by law enforcement officers. However, with a criminal citation, you are typically not taken into custody but are rather given a written notice to appear in court at a later date to address the charges against you.
Your son was stopped at a auto wrecking yard found to be suspicious police ask for his documents officer told him his license was suspended i got the notice of suspension 5 days later after incident?
It doesn't matter. Some people never get the notice. He did something yo cause the suspension, so he should have been aware there was a problem to resolve. It doesn't change the fact that his license was suspended.
