I'm surprised that this is not the case in BC.

Yup. Any police officer in BC can ticket or arrest you anywhere in the province. The only slight exception is CN/CP police which can only enforce laws within a certain distance (500m?) of their property(but this might only apply to provincial legislation? I suspect that they could enforce the criminal code anywhere... but I may be wrong). This is why you occasionally see them doing speed enforcement in certain areas near tracks.
