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.

Before you completely shut me down, keep in mind we live in different areas. For example, I know for a fact that I can't get a speeding ticket in a parking lot on private property (unless the limit is established by whatever city i am in, which doesnt happen on private property). The worst I have ever gotten was a stern talking-to when i blew through a stop sign in the lot (where there were absolutely no cars and the lot itself was virtually abandoned).
