On State Law Enforcement Officers
Except as specified in this document, only duly appointed law
enforcement agents of the state can cite, arrest, or detain people on
property not privately owned.
When not operating under cover for the purposes of investigation,
state law enforcement officers must wear a distinctive and easily
identifiable uniform, and their vehicles must bear distinctive
markings. These uniforms and markings are to be specified by law, and
no one is permitted to emulate the appearance of a law enforcement
officer or his vehicle without the express permission of the body of
state law enforcement which displays that appearance.
No one who has been convicted of a serious, biological, or destructive
crime can act as a law enforcement officer or as a private security
guard.
In enforcing law, an officer is required at all times to use the
minimum and least injurious technique available to him sufficient to
neutralize a situation.
