It can depend on the place and circumstances that the detaining takes place. If he is on duty and at his place of employment or (if curcumstances warranted it) an occurrence at his employment that required an apprehension off his employers property, yes, he probably can. However, if he is off duty and sees criminal activity occurring his authority then, is no more than that of a routine citizen. He may make a "citizen's arrest" but other than that, he possesses no statutory authority or power of arrest when he is off work.
No, security officers have no more legal powers than and ordinary citizen. They are not legally permitted to pull someone in a car over.
No
No most traffic is not even a misdemeanor
What is your definition of "non-serious?" The answer to the question is yes. A traffic violation is a misdemeanor offense for which the officer, in their judgement, can make a summary arrest - IF it occurred in his presence..... and most moving traffic violations DO occur in the officers presence.
Yes, a security officer can arrest a person for a traffic violation if they are authorized to do so by state law or their employer's policies. However, in many jurisdictions, security officers typically do not have the same arrest powers as law enforcement officers, and their authority may be limited to the property they are assigned to. It’s important for security personnel to be aware of their legal limitations and the specific regulations governing their actions.
When they write you a ticket, but you are not arrested. Examples of this are most traffic violations, i.e. a speeding ticket. More serious crimes will be an arrest, not a citation.
The officer can ticket you for the traffic violation, he or she can arrest you if there are mitigating circumstances.
Yes, most(all?) 'moving violations' are misdemeanor offenses for which you can be placed under arrest.
yes, you might, it depends on what kind of violations, sometimes a person didn't pay for the citation, so the judge might issued a arrest warrant, or somethings the driver did not cooperate with the officer, which eventually might lead to the arrest.
a sworn officer wears blue and can arrest criminals while a security guard wears white and can't arrest people
Security officers cannot make an arrest unless they have peace officer status. They can however detain a person until police arrive.
Homeland Security can hold/arrest you for just about anything that they can think of.
