Altitude and Speed Constraints
Hi there,
Do speed and altitude constraints still apply when you are on an offset or a heading?
Any reference will be good. Appreciate it.

One exception to this otherwise universal rule is the UK 
For no apparent reason at all expect to be vectored in parallel to the published STAR and be fully expected to meet the altitude restrictions you were previously given for certain points along it, only somewhere abeam of them.

On our network, ATC usually issues instructions like "Descent to FL040 and fly direct to ABCDE, no restrictions" or "Left turn heading xxxº descent to 5000ft, no restrictions"
...and then I always ask for high speed
