Sec. 242. Duty in plain clothes.

Policemen, when on duty in plain clothes, are to make known
to any person interfering with them in the execution of their
duty that they are policemen; they must exercise their discretion
as to the time of making such communication so as not to interfere
with the object they have in view, so that if assaulted or interfered
with, the assailant cannot plead ignorance of the officer's
real character.
