If any person shall commit or attempt to commit a violation of any provision of Sections 75-76-301 through 75-76-313, any officer, employee or agent of a licensee or any law enforcement officer, acting in good faith and upon probable cause based upon reasonable grounds therefor, may question such person in a reasonable manner for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not such person should be charged with a violation of Sections 75-76-301 through 75-76-313.
