Yes and No. Depends on the offense and where it was commited. No details/No answer.

Your question is not clear about one important thing. Are you questioning the police being positioned on private property when they witnessed (presumably) a violation on public property (street, for example), or are you referring to the violation occuring on private property as well?
If the latter, then 'some' violations can be cited on private property. A common one is handicapped parking space violations.
I will help if you would state the type of violation and the circumstances.
Or do you reference a moving violation where the violator thought he/she reached safe haven by driving onto private property, where the officer made the stop and issued a citation. That's legal too.

Every state is different, but most have certain traffic violations that can be written on private property, DUI, and Reckless driving. Some states allow private property owners to enter into written agreements with police agencies to enforce all traffic regulations on their property, and in that case they can write you a ticket for any type of violation.

Depends on the state. Montana officers can cite on pri property for DUI and Reckless driving. No if you are talking about following you onto private property to issue you a citation for something you did on a public roadway, then yes they can write all day long

it depends, first on state law and city code.
For example in GA, there are seveal traffic laws that can be inforcedon private property.
Also many parking lots have been turned over to the city for the police to patrol by the owners ( not sure how it works but it does)

Citations cannot be issued for offenses committed on private property, only for those committed on public roads and highways.

In Colorado, we have "fresh pursuit" as Rico3151 stated, but we can also site a person for DUI's, DUID's, DWAI's, reckless and careless driving offenses.

I can't say for other states, but I have follwed people into their home, as part of a continuous persuit, and effected an arrest for drunk driving. Its called "fresh persuit" and its perfectly legal.

If they turned on their lights before you made it onto private property, then yes, they can.
