Attorney General to Establish Rules for Return of Property

Not Needed as Evidence. Property held by any law enforcement agency which is not needed for evidentiary purposes in a criminal action may be returned by the agency under rules and regulations established by the Attorney General. NOTE: Section 150.20 provides the Attorney General with the administrative authority to determine whether and under what conditions property will be released. His rules and regulations should, of course, require the person to whom property is returned to show his identity and right to possession. However, if release is not obtained pursuant to this Section, a person claiming a right to possession may always proceed under §§ 150.30 through 150.50.
