His doing so doesn't affect the legality of a ticket, if that is your real unasked question.
If your question is could the driveway owner possibly prosecute the officer for trespass (after warning the officer to leave), that answer is yes.

The officer would be trespassing if he's doing so without permission from the property owner. Doesn't necessarily that any tickets the cop gives from the that aren't legal.
Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
