Q: In the state of Indiana do police officers have the authority to place you on a permanent ban from city/state property
A:
In Indiana, police officers generally do not have the authority to permanently ban individuals from city or state property on their own. Decisions regarding access to public property are typically governed by local laws, ordinances, or policies established by the relevant government entities.
If someone is repeatedly engaging in illegal activities or disruptive behavior on city or state property, law enforcement may take appropriate action to address the situation. This could involve issuing warnings, making arrests for criminal offenses, or seeking court orders, such as restraining orders or no-trespass orders, to prohibit the individual from entering specific areas.
