§ 52-9.2 Wearing of same or similar uniforms by other persons
When such official uniform has been adopted by the Superintendent, no police officer of any county, city or town, special policeman, guard or other person shall wear any uniform identical with such official uniform or so similar in appearance as to be likely to deceive the casual observer.
Violations of this section or § 52-9.1 shall constitute a misdemeanor and be punished as provided by law.
History
This law was first created in 1950. The record of its establishment is cataloged at page 154 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1950 “Acts” aren’t available online.
