fines shall be collected in accordance with

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER HAS PROBABLE CAUSE TO BELIEVE
THAT ANY PERSON POSSESSES ANY FISH OR ANY DEVICE IN
VIOLATION OF THIS TITLE, THE OFFICER SHALL GO BEFORE
ANY DISTRICT COURT JUDGE OF THE COUNTY IN WHICH THE
FISH OF DEVICE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND MAKE AFFIDAVIT TO
THAT FACT. IF THE JUDGE FINDS THE AFFIDAVIT LEGALLY
SUFFICIENT, HE SHALL ISSUE A SEARCH WARRANT AGAINST
THE PERSON COMPLAINED OF, DIRECTED TO THE OFFICER
MAKING THE AFFIDAVIT, COMMANDING HIM TO PROCEED AT
ONCE AND SEARCH FOR THE FISH OR DEVICE AND, UPON
FINDING IT, TO SEIZE, TAKE POSSESSION, AND KEEP IT
UNTIL FURTHER ORDER BY THE JUDGE. THE WARRANT SHALL
BE EXECUTED PURSUANT TO RULE 707 OF THE MARYLAND RULES
OF PROCEDURE OR RULE 707 OF THE MARYLAND DISTRICT

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Article 66C, section 121(a), as amended by
Chapter 181, Acts of 1972. The reference
to the Director in this and subsequent
subsections is proposed for deletion as
obsolete. Although Chapter 348, Acts of
1972, gives the Secretary all the authority
and duties of the Director, the appropriate
nomenclatural changes have not been made
because they are superfluous. Title 1
(section 1—204) gives the Secretary all the
powers of a State police officer. New
