Do city police officers have authority to issue citations on a state highway?

It depends upon your state laws. In Massachusetts, for example, any Boston police officer can enforce state laws and city ordinances on any public way, including state roads, federal property, and shopping mall parking lots that are open to the public. Improved Answer and Correct One Boston police officers or no local officer has power on federal ground. That would be a citizens arrest. Which is not wise. The only time a local or Boston police officer has the authority on state ground is when a chase started on local ground and carried on to the states jurisdiction. Now that is just for Massachusetts. Because some do give local police authority on state ground like California. But in Massachusetts the State Police have authority all through out the state including local jurisdiction but not on federal jurisdiction. And generally citations are not given in shopping malls because that is private property, the police only have authority for criminal arrests on private property. Unless otherwise ordered.

Can the police issue a ticket for non moving violation on private property in san Diego?

Depending on the charge, yes, they can. The above answer is correct provided that the landowner has entered into an agreement giving the police authority. This is typical for most malls and parking lots whether the stores are open or not. Usually you can take Florida Online Traffic School which reduces the fine and also keeps the Florida traffic ticket off your record. There is a link to Florida traffic school at the link below.


Can non certified police officer write traffic ticket?

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).


What is the statute of limitations for unpaid traffic tickets in California Can they still try to collect after many years?

There is not going to be one. Statute of Limitations is to prevent someone being accused of something years after it happened when witnesses are not available and memories are not fresh. A ticket eliminates this issue. Once a ticket has been issued, there is no requirement that there be any sort of time frame associated with resolving it. As laws vary form place to place, you would have to check with the issuing authority, city, county or state to resolve this citation.

Can a security guard write a ticket?

In general, a security guard does not have the authority to write official traffic or parking tickets, as this power is typically reserved for law enforcement officers. However, security guards can issue citations for violations of private property rules, such as unauthorized parking or loitering, depending on the policies of the property they are assigned to. These citations may not carry the same legal weight as official tickets issued by police. Always check local laws and regulations, as they can vary.


Can a police officer issue a seat belt ticket on private property in California?

Section 27315 (d)(1) of the California Vehicle Code (CVC) states, in part, "A person shall not operate a motor vehicle on a highway unless that person and all passengers 16 years of age or over are properly restrained by a safety belt." Under 360 CVC, a highway is defined as "a way or place of whatever nature, publicly maintained and open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel. Highway includes street." So, if the private property included a place that was publicly maintained and intended for vehicular travel, then yes, an officer could issue a seat belt citation on private property.
