removed. In the case of seizure, such device or system may be disposed

of only as directed by the commissioner or his authorized agent.

determining the weight, quantity or price of any commodity sold, or

offered or exposed for sale, any weighing or measuring device or system

to which there has been affixed or upon which there has been placed any

condemnation tag unless such condemnation tag has been removed therefrom

by a weights and measures official.

3. No person, except a weights and measures official, shall remove

from any weighing or measuring device or system any condemnation tag

which has been affixed thereto or placed thereon or obliterate, cover,

obstruct or deface the same or cause any of the foregoing.
