With respect to the enforcement of this chapter or any other
ordinances of the city or any of the laws of the state dealing
with weights and measures which he may be empowered to enforce,
the city sealer is hereby vested with police powers, and
is authorized to arrest any violator of such Code, ordinances
or laws and to seize as evidence, without formal warrant, incorrect
or unsealed weights and measures or amounts or packages
of commodities, found to be used, retained, offered or exposed
for sale or sold in violation of law. In the performance
of his official duties, the city sealer is authorized to enter and
go into or upon, without formal warrant, any structure or
premises, and to stop any person whatsoever, if necessary to
apprehend such person, and to require him to proceed, with
or without any vehicle of which he may be in charge, to some
place which the city sealer may specify.
