If you're found to be operating while intoxicated, you're not going to be issued a traffic summons you're going to be arrested. It's now a federal that "Under the Influence, Under Arrest".

Based on the question, I assume the officer in question is employed by the police department; however, has not completed training through the state. Yes, the police officer can issue a ticket.

No Fault means just that. No Fault. However, you could both be cited for the accident, it will have to be determined in Traffic Court by a judge. If they are at fault, the police officer will issue a ticket. No fault insurance doesn't refer to the legality of the accident, only the compensation.


Can an officer issue a speeding ticket outside of their jusrisdiction?

In most states a police officer is certified by the state and is therefore empowered to enforce the law throughout the state. You did not specify the state in question so a specific answer isn't possible but it's unlikely he would have wasted his time and put himself at risk for a civil rights lawsuit if he did not have the authority to ticket you.

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.


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".
