Can a police officer stop you in the state of Alabama for not wearing a seatbelt?
Yes, the police in Alabama can stop you for not wearing a seatbelt. You are required by law to wear a seatbelt in the front seat of a moving vehicle. The law went into effect in 1991.
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.

Can an off duty police officer issue a ticket?
It depends upon the laws of the state/municipality where the violation occurred.Law officers in many communities are never considered "off duty" and can issue tickets, make arrests, etc. at any time as long as they are within their jurisdiction and circumstances warrant (suspected DWI stop, reckless driving, etc.).It is usually required that the officer be driving a police vehicle when making a traffic stop and the officer must always identify themselves as law enforcement if they are not in uniform.

Can a cop pull you over if his headlights are not on?
The short answer is, yes. But I would need more information on the circumstance. If the officer is on-duty and in uniform, then absolutely in all cases. You can be flagged over by an officer that isn't even in a patrol car, and you must obey; if not you could potentially face some pretty serious criminal charges. I.E. fail to obey a lawful order, or fleeing a police officer. An off duty officer or plain clothes officer on the other hand is a grey area. The officer would have to clearly identify himself as a police officer and somehow articulate that it was obvious to you and anyone around you that he/she was an officer. He/she would then have to prove that he/she had a good reason to stop you or get involved in something while off-duty or in plain clothes. Hope this helps.

What should you do if a traffic signal is red and an officer signals you to stop?
