WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                        Ch. 3

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to
misrepresentation as to authority to engage in the
business of providing "security guard services" is
added to fill a seemingly unintended gap in former
Art. 56, § 600. This addition is based on § 13-701(c)
of this subtitle.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Licensed private detective

agency" § 13-101
"Person" § 1-101 "Private detective" § 13-101
"Private detective agency" § 13-101
"Provide private detective services" § 13-101
"Security guard" § 13-101

13-703. UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION AND USE OF PRIVATE DETECTIVE
OR SECURITY GUARD DOCUMENTS OR BADGES.

(A)  UNAUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTION BY PRIVATE DETECTIVE
AGENCIES.

EXCEPT AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS TITLE, A PRIVATE DETECTIVE
AGENCY MAY NOT PROVIDE ANY PERSON WITH A BADGE OR A CERTIFICATION
CARD OR OTHER DOCUMENT INDICATING THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL IS A
PRIVATE DETECTIVE OR A SECURITY GUARD.

(B)  LOAN OF CERTIFICATION CARDS OR BADGES PROHIBITED.

(1)  A CERTIFIED PRIVATE DETECTIVE MAY NOT LEND THE
PRIVATE DETECTIVE'S CERTIFICATION CARD OR BADGE TO ANOTHER PERSON
OR ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE OR DISPLAY THE CARD OR BADGE.

(2)  A CERTIFIED SECURITY GUARD MAY NOT LEND THE
SECURITY GUARD'S CERTIFICATION CARD OR BADGE TO ANOTHER PERSON OR
ALLOW ANOTHER PERSON TO USE OR DISPLAY THE CARD OR BADGE.

(C)  USE OF BADGES BY UNAUTHORIZED INDIVIDUALS.

REGARDLESS OF ANY ASSOCIATION THAT AN INDIVIDUAL MAY HAVE
WITH A PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY, UNLESS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS
TITLE, THE INDIVIDUAL MAY NOT WEAR OR CARRY A BADGE THAT:

(1)  REPRESENTS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS A PRIVATE
DETECTIVE OR SECURITY GUARD; OR

(2)  OTHERWISE REPRESENTS THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS
ASSOCIATED WITH A PRIVATE DETECTIVE AGENCY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section formerly appeared as Art. 56,
§ 601.

The only changes are in style.
