It doesn't look like the cop should have been able to pull the car over anyway, that looks like private property, not a public street or intersection, and that stop sign is not put up by the city but by the owners of the property (note it has no official sticker on the back of the stop sign). An interesting and inevitable discussion, but in this case it looks like a ticket that would get thrown out regardless.

I'd expect that CA is by no means unique in that respect.
