Can an off duty police officer who saw you driving recklessly give you a ticket well after the fact and after your vehicle is off and you are standing outside it in Missouri?

As a rule, police officers do not report civil violations after the fact or that they themselves did not witness when it relates to traffic violations (because it would be hearsay) if a police officer is trying to write up a ticket for an action on the previous day without proof through a radar instrument and he was off duty--THIS would be a great case to fight.
Yes. If the officer can identify the car and driver then the citation is no different than any other citation. In most cases the officer has up to a year after the event to issue a citation.
The fact that the officer felt the need to act while off duty might be seen as indication of exactly how egregious the violation was, because officers routinely ignore events while off duty. Something made this especially bad.

Added: Misdemeanor offenses must occur in the officers presence in order to be charged. A police officer, even off-duty, is a police officer 24 hours a day. He observed it, and when in approprioate circumstances, he issued the violation notice.

If you were speeding and driving recklessly in a school zone which governmental agency would have to arrest or otherwise deal with you?
The law enforcement agency for that location. It could be a policeman, a sheriff or a state officer.
Can a police officer pull you over if your registration has expired but you clearly have a sticker in the window from the dmv giving you a month to get it smogged?
Absolutely, the Officer doesn't know anything other than what his computer and dispatcher tells him. Clerical mistakes happen quite frequently with the BMV/DMV. Once he ascertains that you are in fact driving legally, the stop will cease. If you were driving legally, you probably received no citation.
What happens if you get caught driving with a suspended license but you're not on probation?
You will be charged with driving while your license is suspended. Whether or not you're on probation doesn't effect this particular offense. If you were on probation, driving with a suspended license is probably a violation of your probation, and a whole different issue.
Can an officer issue a traffic ticket for careless driving over a month after receiving statements from the drivers of the vehicles and then issuing you the ticket being you are the registered owner?
Yes, the officer can write the ticket. It would be subject to the Statute of Limitations laws, but one month is not going to be an issue.
What are the reasons for your driving privilege to be suspended?
its slightly different in all US States. Some will include DUI, delinquent traffic tickets, excessive moving violations, more than 4 at fault accidents per year. Felony fleeing an officer. Wreckless driving putting citizens at risk. Driving is not a PRIVILEGE, it is a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT that can not be taken from you.
