Do you stop at stop signs on private property, say, like grocery store parking lots?

Is it illegal to not stop at official-looking stop signs that are posted on private property?

If it's a store parking lot, who's going to give you a ticket? Store security? Can city police officers issue tickets on private property for public laws broken? I mean, if it's private property, how can public traffic laws apply? If that's the case, then are these stop signs just "suggestions" provided by the store owners? If so, then is the store using official signs illegally?

Aren't these stop signs copyrighted? :shrug:
