A. It is unlawful for any person to impersonate any officer or employee of the City, falsely represent himself to be an officer or employee of the City, or exercise or attempt to exercise any of the duties, functions, or powers of an officer or employee of the City without being duly authorized to do so. Provided, however, that when such person impersonated, represents himself to be, or acts as a police officer as described in this section, the fine that may be imposed upon such person shall not exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00).
B. This section shall not be so construed as to prevent private persons from making arrests for offenses committed in their presence.
