AHHHhhhhh....I think we got mixed up w/ the whole issue! Maybe I misunderstood and I apologize. No. We can't enforce
ANY traffic laws
ON private property. In other words, if you are speeding
ON private property, I
CAN NOT stop you. Actually, I can. But, I can't write you a ticket for speeding. I can give you a criminal tresspass warning if mall security, management, or other person working in place of management wishes me to do so. I, or the person, issue you the warning and send you on your way.
What I meant, was I am sitting on private property running radar at people who are passing by on a public road. That is okay. Running radar on private property? Heck no.
The only two laws in the state of TX we can enforce on private property are:
1. Driving While Intoxicated
and...
2. Reckless Driving
All other laws pertain to a public roadway. Sorry bout the confusion!!!
