in consequence of any illegal search or seizure or of any search
and seizure prohibited by the Declaration of Rights of this State;

section shall prohibit the use of such evidence in Wicomico County,

for a violation of the alcoholic beverage laws as contained in Article

article. Nothing in this section shall be construed to repeal in part
or in whole, or to effect in any manner any provision elsewhere in
this Code specifically exempting any type of case or set of facts
from the workings and operations of this section or [Sections 5 and
5A] Section 5 hereinabove.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
