    Yes. most jurisdictions allow officers to issue citations for reckless driving.

    Also, since the private sector has handicapped parking and is paid for by the Federal Government, officers also issue parking citations for violations.

    Also, the private sector may request that their private property traffic be enforced by the police.

    This is done quite a bit in shopping centers, where drivers are most likely to violate traffic laws.

    If it's intended for public use (mall, parking lot, train platform) the cops still have jurisdiction.

    A parking lot is private property, but it has public domain. Traffic laws are the same as the street in a parking lot. A cop can issue tickets for parking violations. In some case police need permission from the owner, and they always get it, If you owned a biz. would you want free police patrol of your property

    Yes. He has the right to do anything to you as long as he is not on your property. Then he needs a warrant.
