What else can I help you with?
Can a civilian narcotics officer follow you home and use an on duty police officers tickets book and write a citation?
I've never heard of a 'civilian narcotics officer." If you are referring to a narcotics officer who works undercover or in civilian clothing - he is STILL a police officer. Whatever action he took that necessitated the issuing of a ticket - police officers don't 'own' the ticket books they carry. A ticket book is nothing but a pad of legal forms that can be utilized by ANY sworn law enforcement officer for issuing summonses. If that describes the incident you are referring to then, yes, it was legal.
Can a police officer issue a ticket to another police officer?
Yes, a police officer can issue a ticket to another police officer if they witness a violation of the law by that officer. Police officers are expected to uphold the law regardless of their own profession.
Can a civilian write someone a reckless driving ticket or does it have to be witnessed by a sworn officer?
Yes, a civilian in the US certainly has that authority. Just drop by your local police department and they will gladly provide you with the necessary ticket book. Holding the perpetrator until a sworn officer arrives on the scene may prove dicey.
Can they ticket you for not passing a semi?
Most locations have a law against bad driving. It's not exactly called that... it may be legally referred to as "careless and imprudent", for example... but it basically means that a police officer can give you a ticket for almost literally anything the officer considers to be bad driving. You may be able to contest the ticket, in which case you're taking your chances that a judge and/or a jury will agree with you and not with the police officer, but in short: yes, a police officer can give you a ticket for not passing a semi.
Can you get out of your ticket if a police officer does not issue a ticket to everyone just a select few?
No.
Can a police officer issue a ticket to a minor?
Yes.
Can a police officer hide to make a ticket?
Yes
Can a police officer give a ticket in a trailer park?
no
Can you be arrested for traffic ticket for lying to a police officer?
Yes
How long does a police officer have after you are reported to ticket you?
two days
Can civilian police pull over military police?
Yes. When Military Police are off base and violating the law, they can be stopped by civilian police. If it is determined that a law violation did occur, then they can be ticketed, but police rarely ticket on-duty officers from other departments.
Can non certified police officer write traffic ticket?
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. Although not certified, the officer has been granted authority through the police department, and holds the authority to do anything that a certified officer may do (within reason).
