Absolutely not ! No matter which country you're in - if the officer is off-duty - they're just another civilian, with no more jurisdiction to issue parking tickets than you or I. However they can make a note of your violation and either pass your details on or process your violation citation/ticket when they are back on duty.
No. they coul only pull someboy over if they see that happening right then. The
As a rule, police officers do not report civil violations after the fact or that they themselves did not witness when it relates to traffic violations (because it would be hearsay) if a police officer is trying to write up a ticket for an action on the previous day without proof through a radar instrument and he was off duty--THIS would be a great case to fight. Yes. If the officer can identify the car and driver then the citation is no different than any other citation. In most cases the officer has up to a year after the event to issue a citation. The fact that the officer felt the need to act while off duty might be seen as indication of exactly how egregious the violation was, because officers routinely ignore events while off duty. Something made this especially bad.
Yes. A police officer is able to act on any illegal activities that he may see. So in your case yes. This doesnt happen much because an off duty cop is on break and littering is a pity crime i dont see why he/she would intervene and waste his/her time.
no they have to call someone who is on duty to pull you over
Yes he can under title 17 of the Georgia code.
No, an off duty officer can not issue a ticket in the state of Alabama. An officer must be on duty before they arrest someone or issue a ticket.
Yes, an off-duty officer can arrest a DUI offender or any offender for that matter
I don't know for sure, but if they have take home cars that they are allowed to drive in their off time, I would imagine that means that they are always on duty.AnswerYes, in California it is totally legal for an off-duty officer to issue you a citation. It will usually come in the mail or they will have a marked patrol unit pull you over. If s/he elects to have you pulled over by a marked patrol unit, then after the officer contacts you, the off duty officer will issue the ticket. Also, a police officer in California has "Police Powers" anywhere in the State of California. I know this because I am a police officer in California and have written several citations while "off duty".

Of course. Any officer or enlisted is ALWAYS "on orders" of one kind or another, even if they are "standing orders," such as in a permanent duty station.
Yes. As long as they are within their jurisdictional boundaries they may personally issue you a citation. Officers/Deputies/Troopers are on duty 24/7 and there certifications are maintained by the Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement. This said they must also stop to render aid or deter criminal offenses that occur in their presence. In Florida there is no such thing as "off duty."
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.
