Receipt for seized things
178 Receipt for seized things
As soon as practicable after an inspector seizes a thing, the inspector must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.
However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the inspector must leave the receipt in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way at the place of seizure.
The receipt must describe generally each thing seized and its condition.
This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt required by this section (given the thing’s nature, condition and value).
