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.


Is there a way to get out of a driving while suspended ticket if officer had no reason to pull some one over to begin with?

No Police have to have reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to make a traffic stop. The reasonable suspicion doesn't have to turn out to prove criminal activity; all that is required is that the officer had a reasonable belief something criminal was happening. For example, if a police officer believed you looked like a person wanted for a serious crime, he could stop you to check your identity. Even though you're not the wanted person, if the officer discovers other criminal activity during the stop (suspended license, open containers of alcohol, stolen property, etc.), he can make an arrest or issue a citation for those charges. The charges will be just as valid as if he had seen you driving at 100 miles per hour.

What happens if someone ran a stop sign and hit me but I didn't have insurance on my car do they pay?

You should have called a police officer to the scene where they would have determined who's fault it was. If they ran a stop sign chances are their insurance will have to pay for it. However, if you didn't call police to the scene you may be left to pay for the accident yourself.
