Though typically, police officers who have authority but are outside their jurisdiction (e.g. RCMP on Vancouver city streets, OPP on Toronto city streets, SQ on Montreal city streets, etc.) won't pull you over for simple traffic infractions like speeding, etc. unless you're clearly presenting a danger for the public. Mainly because it would generally involve them having to call a fellow officer from the city police or something like that, and it's too big a hassle.
Where I live on the border between two provinces every once in a while someone tries to make a run for the bridges to try and evade police from one province by crossing into the other. Where technically, they don't have any authority.
Of course, real life isn't like Dukes of Hazzard where you can give the cops a raspberry from just across the county or state line.
What they do here is radio ahead to the other province's police, and the cops from Quebec/Ontario will cross over into Ontario/Quebec where they are joined or replaced by the local cops. Most of the time they don't get very far as there is a roadblock waiting for them at the bottom of the bridge.
