Uniform and badge; marked police vehicle
Sec. 2. A law enforcement officer may not arrest or issue a traffic
information and summons to a person for a violation of an Indiana
law regulating the use and operation of a motor vehicle on an Indiana
highway or an ordinance of a city or town regulating the use and
operation of a motor vehicle on an Indiana highway unless at the
time of the arrest the officer is:
(1) wearing a distinctive uniform and a badge of authority; or
(2) operating a motor vehicle that is clearly marked as a police
vehicle;
that will clearly show the officer or the officer's vehicle to casual
