I thought that the police could only give out tickets on public
property (roads and the like).  If this was a private parking lot, as
in a shopping center for example, they would be restricted.

I was told once, after an accident in a mall parking lot, that the cop
couldn't give the other guy a ticket for this very reason.  Has the law
changed?
