As a legal matter, police officers are never 'off duty' and are sworn to uphold the law at all times. Therefore, in the performance of their official duties, yes they can. However, in their status as private citizens, you may bar them if they have no official reason to trespass on your property.
Pulling into your driveway doesn't provide you any safe haven from receiving a ticket if a police officer registered you speeding and was engaged in an active pursuit of your vehicle prior to you pulling into your driveway.
no they have to call someone who is on duty to pull you over
A citizen can not pull over a police officer for bending the law, but you can report them to the superiors of their Police Department.
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).
if someone received a speeding ticket in the state of Utah and then went to pay it but the clerk said it had not yet been filed by the officer, then what is the statute of limitations for the officer to file the ticket? i think it should be less than one week.Mactord
Police officers have the authority to investigate suspicious circumstances and suspected crime ANYWHERE. YOU allege that you committed no wrongdoing and no violation - if you feel wronged, file an official complaint with the officer's department.,
no, only if you do not own the driveway
If a police officer records someone speeding, it doesn't matter what the nature of the property they take the reading from is. If they record you speeding while they're in a driveway, they can act on it. As for using a private residence, it's something which requires the consent of the property owner - they can't just occupy someone's driveway to set up a speed trap while ignoring the rights of the property owner, and it's often a discouraged practice, although California tends to have their own way of doing things.
I would think not, if your driveway is private property. Take pictures of the car and complain to the police.
I think that you could call a tow company have it moved, and give the owner the bill.

No but many private investigators happen to be ex-officers.
Contact your local police department and ask if you can tow the car away.
police officers have a criteria on this. On the other hand,for an officer of the law, it would be unethical not to arrest someone he has seen comiting a crime.
