Official statutory text
(a) Any officer or inspector of the Division so authorized, may seize, without a warrant, any alcoholic liquor, as well as any receptacle containing it, shipped into a municipality or part of this State in which a prohibitory law is in force, or whose competent authority has decided, in the manner set forth in § 102 of this title, that any license or any certain kind of license shall not be granted, unless each parcel containing such alcoholic liquor is clearly and visibly addressed to the bona fide purchaser. The fact that such parcel is so addressed shall not, however, prevent the seizure of the alcoholic liquor and of the receptacle containing it if such alcoholic liquor is shipped or sold contrary to any provision of this title.
(b) The alcoholic liquor seized as well as the receptacles containing it shall be handed over to the Division.
(c) This section shall not apply to an individual, the holder of a license to purchase a stock of draft beer in half barrel or quarter barrel containers for personal use, who having said license then with him or her, is personally transporting for his or her own personal use such draft beer.
