State laws vary. For example, in Massachusetts any police officer can enforce the law, including traffic laws, on any property within the jurisdiction, regardless of whether it is federal, state, city or privately owned property.
However, many traffic statutes are written to cover only operation "on a public way", so the private property would have to be "open to the public", such as a shopping mall parking lot.
I once watched an OUI conviction dismissed on appeal because there was no evidence the drunk driver driver was "operating on a public way"; when the police arrived the car was stuck in the side of a private home with no wheels on the ground and no other witnesses. "Not a crime."

The "statute" will depend on where you are. Laws are indexed and codified very differently from one state or jurisdiction to another.
Bascially, in Georgia (US) we can only prosecute traffic offenses on private property for Driving Under the Influence (if the private property has access to any public road), Reckless Driving (if there is property damage), and parking violations (if the space is properly marked).

If you committed a violation on a public roadway, then the policeman can issue a citation where he gets you stopped. If you committed a 'traffic violation' on private property and got a citation for it, get a lawyer...at least in the U.S.A..
Other countries I don't know about.

If a policeman sees a minor with alcohol, they are in a position to jot down the fee ticket everywhere the minor is, which contain private assets. If a policeman arrests you on private assets, they are in a position to take you onto public assets. carry? perhaps. relies upon.

What state are you in? Sorry, can't give it to you without the locale.
(Here they can't unless you committed the offense on public roadways and then ended up on private property by the time they catch up to you.)

It sucks if they can. Its like the seatbelt laws too. That sucks becuase they take your rights away to use or not use things in your own car. I know they are for safety, but its my right to not want to wear something in my own car that I pay for and maintain. If my car came with nipple clips and the state said they help you be more safe, does that mean I'fd have to wear them too? I mean c'mon, where will it end?

Each state has it's own statute. In Oho, I can write for OVI, driving under suspension, reckless operation and parking (handicappd, fire lane).
