(INDIANAPOLIS) - It’s now illegal to buy, sell or own a cell phone case that looks like a firearm in Marion County.
The Indianapolis City-County Council voted Monday night to approve Proposition 259 banning the cell phone accessories. The vote comes amid a national conversation about police use-of-force incidents, and in the wake of the fatal shooting of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was killed in June by Cleveland police after allegedly waving a BB gun at officers.
