I-8.1 - Act respecting offences relating to alcoholic beverages
Section 125.2
Disposition versions
125.2. Every peace officer who has reasonable cause to believe that premises, other than a dwelling-house, are being used by or on behalf of a public transportation carrier to store alcoholic beverages may enter the premises and inspect them at any reasonable time.
The peace officer may examine the alcoholic beverages found there, require any document making it possible to establish their origin and destination, and require any person present on the premises to provide reasonable assistance. The peace officer may also require the person storing the alcoholic beverages to prove that the person is authorized to do so, in particular by exhibiting the agreement entered into with the public transportation carrier. The person responsible for the premises must comply with such requirements without delay.
The peace officer may proceed immediately with the seizure of any alcoholic beverages possessed in contravention of this Act and of their containers.
The provisions of the Code of Penal Procedure (chapter C-25.1) that concern things seized apply, with the necessary modifications, once they are seized, to the alcoholic beverages and their containers, subject to the provisions of this Act.
