§ 165.74  Seizure  and  distribution  or  destruction  of goods bearing
           counterfeit trademarks.
  Any  goods  manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,  distributed  or
produced  in  violation  of  this  article  may  be seized by any police
officer. The magistrate must, within forty-eight hours after arraignment
of the defendant, determine whether probable  cause  exists  to  believe
that   the   goods  had  been  manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,
distributed or produced in violation of this article, and upon a finding
that  probable  cause  exists  to  believe  that  the  goods  had   been
manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,  distributed,  or  produced in
violation of this article, the court shall authorize such articles to be
retained as evidence pending the trial of the defendant. Upon conviction
of the defendant, the articles in respect whereof the  defendant  stands
convicted  shall  be destroyed or donated. Destruction shall not include
auction, sale or distribution of  the  items  in  their  original  form.
Donation  of  the items shall be made at the court's discretion upon the
request of any law enforcement agency and pursuant to  the  restrictions
and  procedures of section three hundred sixty-m of the general business
law, for the benefit of indigent individuals.
