§ 5-52. Search and seizure warrants; inspection warrants.

Latest version.

Search and seizure warrants; inspection warrants. Animal control officers may apply for search and seizure warrants, or inspection warrants pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 2-2-11 when they reasonably believe a violation of subsection 5-16(a) or section 5-18 of this chapter is occurring. The officer shall apply to a judge of municipal court only upon cause and with an affidavit particularly describing the place, dwelling, structure, premises, or vehicle to be inspected and the purpose for which the inspection is to be made. In addition, the affidavit shall contain either a statement that consent to inspect has been sought and refused or facts or circumstances reasonably justifying the failure to seek such consent. Cause shall be deemed to exist if there is reason to believe that a condition of nonconformity with the provisions of subsection 5-16(a) or section 5-18 exists with respect to the particular place, dwelling, structure, premises or vehicle.
