§ 420.00 Seizure and destruction of unauthorized recordings.
Any article produced in violation of article two hundred seventy-five of
this chapter may be seized by any police officer, who must deliver the same
to the magistrate before whom the person arrested is required to be taken.
The magistrate must, upon the examination of the defendant, or if such
examination is delayed or prevented, without awaiting such examination,
determine whether the articles had been possessed by the defendant in
violation of the provisions of such article two hundred seventy-five; and
if he finds that the articles had been so possessed by the defendant, he
must cause such articles to be delivered to the district attorney of the
county in which the defendant is liable to indictment or trial. Upon the
conviction of the defendant, the district attorney must cause to be
destroyed the articles in respect whereof the defendant stands convicted,
and which remain in the possession or under the control of the district
attorney.
