[Ord. No. 2393-11 §1, 1-18-2011]
An administrative search warrant is a written order of the Municipal Judge commanding the search or inspection of any property, place or thing, and the seizure, photographing, copying or recording of property or physical conditions found thereon or therein to determine or prove the existence of violations of any ordinance or Code Section of the City of Camdenton relating to the use, condition or occupancy of property or structures located within the City of Camdenton or to enforce the provisions of other ordinance or Code Sections.
The property or place to be searched or inspected or the thing to be seized is located within the City of Camdenton at the time of the making of the application and either:
The owner or occupant of the property or place to be searched or inspected or the thing to be seized has refused to allow same after official request by the City of Camdenton; or
A request to the owner or occupant for a search of such property or place would be impractical or cause the evidence to potentially be destroyed or removed from the premises.
Any such warrant shall be directed to the Chief of Police or any other Police Officer of the City of Camdenton and shall be executed by the Chief of Police or said Police Officer within the City of Camdenton City limits and not elsewhere.
The City Attorney for the City of Camdenton may make application to the Municipal Judge for the issuance of an administrative search warrant.
State that the owner or occupant of the property or places to be entered, searched, inspected or seized has been requested by the City of Camdenton and the occupant or owner has refused to allow such action or that the request to the owner or occupant would be impractical or potentially cause the evidence to be destroyed or removed from the premises.
The Municipal Judge shall hold a non-adversary hearing to determine whether probable cause exists to inspect or search for violations of any City of Camdenton ordinance or Code Section, or to enforce any such ordinance or Code Section.
In doing so the Municipal Judge shall determine whether the action to be taken by the City of Camdenton is reasonable in light of the facts stated. The Municipal Judge shall consider the goals of the ordinance or Code Section sought to be enforced and such other factors as may be appropriate, including, but not limited to, the physical condition of the specified property, the age and nature of the property, the condition of the area in which the property is located, any known violation of any relevant City of Camdenton ordinance or Code Section and the passage of time since the property's last inspection. The standard for issuing a warrant need not be limited to actual knowledge of an existing violation of a City of Camdenton ordinance or Code Section.
If it appears from the application and any supporting affidavit that there is probable cause to inspect or search for violations of any City of Camdenton ordinance or Code Section, or to enforce any such ordinance or Code Section, a search warrant shall immediately be issued.
Be in writing and in the name of the City of Camdenton;
Be directed to any Police Officer in the City of Camdenton;
Command that the described property or places be searched or entered upon, and that any evidence of any City of Camdenton ordinance violations found therein or thereon, or any property seized pursuant thereto, or a description of such property seized, be returned, within ten (10) days after filing of the application, to the Municipal Judge who issued the warrant, to be dealt with according to law;
Execution and return. A search warrant issued under this Section shall be executed only by a City of Camdenton Police Officer, provided however, that one (1) or more designated City of Camdenton officials may accompany the officer, and the warrant shall be executed in the following manner:
If any property is seized incident to the search, the officer shall give the person from whose possession it was taken, if the person is present, an itemized receipt for the property taken. If no such person is present, the officer shall leave the receipt at the site of the search in a conspicuous place. A copy of the itemized receipt of any property taken shall be filed with the Municipal Court within two (2) working days of the search. The disposition of property seized pursuant to a search warrant under this Section shall be in accordance with an applicable City of Camdenton ordinance or Code Section, but in the absence of same, then with Section 542.301, RSMo.
After execution of the search warrant, the warrant, with a return thereon signed by the officer making the search, shall be delivered to the Municipal Court. The return shall show the date and manner of execution and the name of the possessor and of the owner, when not the same person, if known, of the property or places searched or seized. The return shall be accompanied by any photographs, copies, or recordings made, and by any property seized, along with a copy of the itemized receipt of such property required by this Section; provided however, that seized property may be disposed of as provided herein, and in such a case a description of the property seized shall accompany the return.
If it was not issued with respect to property or places in the City of Camdenton, Missouri;
