(1)  As soon as practicable after an inspector seizes a thing, the inspector must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.

(2)  However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1) , the inspector must leave the receipt in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way at the place of seizure.

(3)  The receipt must describe generally each thing seized and its condition.

(4)  This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt required by this section (given the thing's nature, condition and value).
