Thats far from the truth. If a cop sees you doing something stupid like donuts in a parkinglot you will get a ticket. And there are always traffic codes for these violations to fall into.
Parking lots are private property, but they are open to the public, that is why you can get a ticket. Cops do not need to be invited into public space if they witness a violation occuring.
