§ 750.54Search warrants

Sec. 54.
     Search warrant—When complaint is made, on oath or affirmation, to any magistrate
 authorized to issue warrants in criminal cases, that the complainant believes that any of the
 provisions of the preceding sections of this chapter are being, or are about to be violated in any
 particular building or place, such magistrate, if satisfied that there is reasonable cause for such
 belief, shall issue and deliver a search warrant to any sheriff, deputy sheriff, constable or
 public officer, authorizing him to search such building or place and to arrest any person or
 persons engaged in violating any of the provisions of the preceding sections of this chapter, as
 well as any person or persons there present, and aiding or abetting therein, and to bring such
 person or persons before some magistrate of competent jurisdiction, to be dealt with according
 to law. Such officer shall, at the same time, seize and bring to said magistrate every article or
 instrument found in said building or place especially designed or adapted to torture or inflict
 wounds upon any animal or to aid in the fighting or baiting of any animal; and unless within
 10 days after the trial of the person or persons so arrested, the owner of said article or
 instrument shall show, to the satisfaction of said magistrate, that the same is not designed or
 adapted to the wounding or torture of animals, or if so designed or adapted, is not intended to
 be used or employed for such purpose, the magistrate shall destroy such article or instrument.
