A police officer has legal authority to enforce the "peace".

Not off duty.

If he is having his "lunch" break, he has no authority?

Beside I am not sure if a police officer is ever off duty. Especially if he is on his way to, or from work, and in uniform. But then I am not a policeman, just an average citizen with a common impression that the police has a certain amount of authority to enforce the peace.
