Unless flight by the actor or other circumstances make it impracticable, a police or peace officer shall, prior to any arrest for an offense under this section, afford the actor an opportunity to dispel any alarm which would otherwise be warranted by requesting him to identify himself and explain his presence and conduct. No person shall be convicted of an offense under this subsection if the police or peace officer did not comply with the preceding sentence, or if it appears at trial that the explanation given by the actor was true and, if believed by the police and peace officer at the time, would have dispelled the alarm.

Loitering in public places. No person shall loiter, lounge or loaf in or about any depot, theater, dance hall, restaurant, store, public sidewalk, public parking lot, or other place of assembly or public use after being requested to move by any police officer, proprietor of the place of business, or by any person in authority at such place. Upon being requested to move, a person must immediately comply with such request by leaving the premises or area thereof at the time of the request.

§ 213-12 Abandoned or unattended iceboxes.

No person shall leave or permit to remain outside of any dwelling, building or other structure, or within any unoccupied or abandoned building, dwelling or other structure under his control in a place accessible to children, any abandoned, unattended or discarded icebox, refrigerator or other container which has an airtight door or lid, snap lock, or other locking device which may not be released from the inside without first removing said door or lid, snap lock or other locking device from said icebox, refrigerator or container unless such container is displayed for sale on the premises of the owner or his agent and is securely locked or fastened.

§ 213-13 Misuse of 911 emergency telephone service.

Purpose. The primary purpose of this section is to prevent the misuse of the emergency 911 number. Further, it is meant to encourage parents or the legal guardian of a minor to maintain control over the actions of the minor and prevent the misuse of the 911 emergency number.

Misuse. The intentional calling of the 911 emergency number and knowingly giving a false report, or no report, or as a prank when no emergency exists and no valid request is made for emergency services, shall constitute misuse of the 911 emergency number.

General provisions.

It shall be a violation of this section for anyone to intentionally call the 911 emergency number to knowingly give false information or no information or as a prank, or when no valid request for emergency services exists.

It shall also be a violation to knowingly encourage, aid or permit another to make a call as defined above.

It shall also be a violation of this section for anyone to hook up his alarm system to the 911 number.

Each call shall be considered a separate violation.

A parent or legal guardian of a minor may be found liable for any injury or damage which may result from the misuse of the 911 number and penalties may be imposed under § 895.035, Wis. Stats.

This section does not attempt to restrict emergency calls but only to prevent the misuse of the 911 number.

Parents or legal guardians may be held liable for the acts of minors subject to the above penalties, if they know or should have known that the absence of control of their minor may or could result in the misuse of 911.

§ 213-14 Smoking prohibited.

Section 101.123, Smoking prohibited, of the Wisconsin Statutes is adopted by reference and incorporated herein.

§ 213-15 Nighttime curfew.

Legislative purpose. The Denmark Board has determined that there has been an increase in juvenile violence, juvenile gang activity and crime by persons under the age of 17 in the Village and persons under the age of 17 are particularly susceptible by their lack of maturity and experience to participate in unlawful and gang-related activities and to be victims of other perpetrators of crime. The Village of Denmark has an obligation to provide for the protection of minors from each other and from other persons, for the enforcement of parental control over the responsibility for children, for the protection of the general public, and for the reduction of the incidence of juvenile criminal activities, and a nighttime curfew for those under the age of 17 will be in the interest of the public health, safety, and general welfare and will help to attain the foregoing objectives and to diminish the undesirable impact of such conduct on the citizens of the Village.
