Can you receive a ticket for stopping at a green light?

If there is a cop present, and you have stopped and have not moved, than yes, you can get a ticket. Should a police/law enforcement officer be present, they would most likely activate their flashers or loudspeaker to inform you that there is a green light and you must proceed through the intersection. This is not a ticketable offense, however, if you should fail to react, they may stop you to test your Blood Alcohol Content or for illegal substances.


Can state troopers pull over city police?

Yes. A police officer is not exempt from traffic laws simply because he's a police officer. Any officer can stop and ticket another. Who works for what agency is not a factor. But the cold reality is that it would have to be a very clear and very serious violation before a ticket would be given. Too often the safety of a police officer depends on other officers and other agencies. If you are known as a cop who writes unnecessary tickets to other cops, that big bar fight can be a very lonely place.


Can a jurisdictional police officer give you a ticket for running a stop sign in the parking lot of a grocery store?

In Illinois, a police officer can not write a moving citation on private property unless the department has an agreement with the owner of that property. I have noticed lately that most police officers are allowed to write tickets for just about anything in their jursdiction. I have also been told that most of the time , to answer your question is that it depends on the mood of the officer and the severity of the violation (on private property such as this) but I have also noticed that it is just a whole lot easier all around to just stop where & when you should and then something like this doesn't become a problem. --- In Ohio, yes. This includes mobile home parks as well.
