§329-69  Subpoena powers.  Subject to
the privileges which witnesses have in the courts of this State, the director
of public safety or the director’s designated subordinate is empowered pursuant
to and in accordance with the rules of court to subpoena witnesses, examine
them under oath and require the production of books, papers, documents or
objects where the director of public safety reasonably believes the information
sought is relevant or material to enforcement of this chapter.  Books, papers,
documents, or objects obtained pursuant to exercise of these powers may be
retained by the director of public safety or the director’s designate for
forty-eight hours for the purpose of examination, audit, copying, testing, or
photographing.  Upon application by the director of public safety, obedience to
the subpoenas may be enforced by the circuit court in the county where the
person subpoenaed resides or is found in the same manner as a subpoena issued
by the clerk of a circuit court. [L 1990, c 200, pt of §1 and am c 281, §10; am
