Wabash city police could pay for investigations by fining criminals who use devices that can detect electronic audio surveillance equipment under a new city ordinance, according to Wabash Police Chief Charles Smith.
The devices, called radio frequency indicators, were the subject of an ordinance passed July 24 with unanimous support of the Wabash City Council, according to a city official.
The ordinance makes it illegal to use the devices to assist in criminal activity or to detect whether a police officer or someone working with the police is bugged or under surveillance by law enforcement officials.
Anyone violating the ordinance could be fined a maximum of $2,500 for the first offense and $7,000 for subsequent offenses.
Smith said any money collected could help pay police costs.
“They (criminals) end up paying for their own criminal investigation,” Smith said.
Smith said police realize that the ordinance is unlikely to dissuade people involved in criminal pursuits from using the devices, but it adds one more fine that police can tack onto the list of charges.
