Depends on what you mena by uncertified. Many states put officers to work before attending the academy. Example, in Kansas, there is a year long waiting list for the one and only police academy which is run by the state. So, officers are often working prior to attending the academy. They may not be certified yet, however it is totally legal. If they are violating rights, then that is another thing all together. Would have to hear more about that situation to be able to give a proper answer.

Uncertified? Yes, because I could just as easily write a ticket. That is a major offense, BTW. A lawyer has to have passed the bar before taking your case - and cops have to be legit. Impersonation is not a laughing matter.
And, no. It is illegal to bust someon, conduct a search, or other wise impersonat a police office. Contact the state attorneys office.

If the cop has been hired by the local government and is working for them then it is legal. Some states allow small towns to allow cops to work even before they go to the academy for certification up to a year. Most places only allow them to work with a officer close by. Any thing that they do must still be with in the color of the law.

Probably. So long as the cop is actually employed as a police officer, working within their jurisdiction, and is not impersonating an officer, then they are acting perfectly legally. Most states give AT LEAST 6 months before any training is required (like police academy). In Alabama, there is no time limit.

uncertified? there are only one kind of cop/police anywhere: legal & sworn in with badge , uniform, etc. whether it is state, fed or local/county. any ticket making, busting or whatever could be construed as citizen's arrest, somewhat, & that depends. i'd speak to a judge about the legality of what this person is doing but sure sounds illegal to me. even police cannot search or seize without a warrant. they can not arrest without provocation. legal cops would be in more trouble than the perp.

Impersonating a police officer is a crime in many states. Just dressing up like one and playing the part.
Breaking and entering one's home to do a search while impersonating an officer is usually illegal as a break-in, and is also trespassing in the civil liability sense.
Holding or cuffing someone without the authority of the state or sanction of law is often considered an unlawful confinement.
If someone has done these things to you, please contact a lawyer and the police.

First of all if he's not certified yet then he's not a cop
he has no authority to bust people give tickets or conduct any type of search and no one has the authority to conduct a search that violates your rights. This is usually grounds for dismissal of any charges filed because of said search

Anybody can be a police officer. You can even be a police officer right out of high school.
The only thing that makes you a police officer is that you have been sworn in. If he did that, then he is legally a cop.
