100.54 EXECUTION OF WARRANT.
A warrant issued under this chapter must be executed and returned
within ten days from the date of issuance unless, upon the showing of
a need for additional time, the court so instructs otherwise in the
warrant. A copy of the warrant shall be delivered to a person in
charge of the premises being inspected or, if no one is present, a
copy of the warrant shall be posted upon the premises. If property
is seized pursuant to a warrant, the person executing the warrant
shall give to the person from whom the property is seized, or the
person in charge of the premises from which the property is seized, a
receipt for the property seized or shall leave the copy and receipt
at the place from which the property is seized. The return of the
warrant shall be made promptly and accompanied by a written inventory
of property seized. The inventory shall be made in the presence of
the person executing the warrant and of the person from whose
possession or premises the property was seized, if they are present,
or in the presence of at least one credible person other than the
person executing the warrant.
A copy of the return, the inventory and any receipts issued shall
be promptly filed with the clerk of the district court for the county
in which the inspection is made. Section History: Early Form
