(A) No person shall prowl or loiter on foot, in a motor vehicle, or in any other way in a place, at a time, or in a manner not usual for law-abiding individuals under circumstances that warrant a justifiable and reasonable alarm for immediate concern for the safety or health of any person or property in the vicinity.
(B) Unless flight by the person or other circumstances make it impracticable, a law enforcement officer shall, prior to an arrest for an offense under this section, afford the person an opportunity to dispel any alarm or immediate concern which would otherwise be warranted by requesting the person to identify himself or herself and explain his or her presence and conduct.
(C) No person shall be convicted of an offense under this section if the law enforcement officer failed to comply with division (B) above, or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the person was true and would have dispelled the alarm or immediate concern.
