§ 214-15. Police powers; right of entry and stoppage.

With respect to the enforcement of this act [chapter] and any other ordinance or state statute dealing with false advertising, consumer protection, trade standards and weights and measures that he is, or may be, empowered to enforce, the sheriff of Pasco County may deputize the director of the office of consumer affairs and his inspectors, if the director and any of his inspectors as appointed by the director have completed an appropriate police training course approved by the sheriff of Pasco County. When so deputized the director is vested with special police powers and is authorized to arrest any violator of the ordinance or statutes, and to seize and impound as material evidence any incorrect or unsealed weights and measures or amounts or packages of commodity used, retained, offered or exposed for sale, or sold in violation of law. The director is authorized, upon probable cause and execution of a search warrant, to enter and go into or upon any structure or premises, and to stop any violating person and require him to proceed to such place within the county as the director or his authorized inspector may specify.
