(c) No person shall draw, exhibit or brandish a replica or facsimile of a firearm or simulate a firearm in the presence of a peace officer, fire-fighter, emergency medical technician or paramedic engaged in the performance of his or her duties, if the person committing such brandishing knows or has reason to know that such police officer, fire-fighter, emergency medical technician or paramedic is engaged in the performance of his or her duties.
(d) Whoever violates subsection (a) hereof is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree. Whoever violates subsection (b) or (c) hereof is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. The penalty shall be as provided in Section 698.02.
