§ 71-3907. Warrants; seizure.

Any police officer shall have authority to execute any warrant to
search for and seize any sewage system cleaners or additives sold,
distributed or offered or exposed for sale in violation of article
thirty-nine. Such cleaners or additives shall be held pending
proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon conviction

violation of article thirty-nine, the seized items shall be forfeited
and, upon forfeiture, destroyed under the supervision of the
commissioner. Where property has been seized pursuant to the provisions
of this article from a person who was not convicted of an offense or
subject to a restraining order, a notice of the institution of a
forfeiture proceeding shall be served on that person, and the person
shall be allowed to appear and shall be given an opportunity to be heard
