§708-8104 - Possession of unauthorized credit card machinery or incomplete cards.
[§708-8104] Possession of unauthorized
credit card machinery or incomplete cards. (1) A person other than the
cardholder possessing an incomplete credit card, with intent to complete it
without the consent of the issuer or a person possessing, with knowledge of its
character, machinery, plates, or any other contrivance designed to reproduce
instruments purporting to be the credit cards of the issuer who has not
consented to the preparation of such credit cards, commits the offense of
possession of unauthorized credit card machinery or incomplete cards.
A credit card is incomplete if part of the
matter other than the signature of the cardholder, which an issuer requires to
appear on the credit card, before it can be used by a cardholder, has not yet
been stamped, embossed, imprinted, or written on it.
If a person other than the cardholder or issuer
possesses two or more incomplete credit cards, it is prima facie evidence that
the person intended to complete them without the consent of the owner.
(2) Possession of unauthorized credit card
machinery or incomplete cards is a class C felony. [L 1986, c 314, pt of §61]
