(a) A person in possession of a credit card issued to another with the intent to use the credit card without the consent of the cardholder shall be fined not more than $500.00 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

(b) A law enforcement officer who finds a credit card in the possession of a person other than the cardholder shall seize the same unless it is affirmatively made to appear that an unauthorized use of said card is not intended. A card seized under such circumstances shall be returned to the card issuer at such time as it may not be needed as material or relevant evidence for prosecution.
