§ 131.05 ENFORCEMENT.
   (A)   A law enforcement officer may not detain a child or take a child into custody based on a violation of this chapter unless the law enforcement officer, after making a reasonable determination and considering the facts and surrounding circumstances, reasonably believes that:
      (1)   The child has violated this chapter; and
      (2)   There is no legal defense to the violation.
   (B)   A child who commits a curfew violation under this chapter is subject to enforcement procedures provided in I.C. 36-1-6 and I.C. 34-28-5. Any complaint filed against a child for a violation of this chapter shall be filed in a court of general jurisdiction and the Town Council shall direct a copy of the complaint to the child’s parent, guardian or custodian, if such person is known or can be identified by reasonable inquiry.
