Section 184. Condemnation, seizure or repair of false devices

1.  Whenever
  any weights and measures official inspects  any  weighing  or  measuring
  device  or  system  and  finds  that  it  does  not  correspond with the
  standards in  his  possession  or  does  not  meet  the  specifications,
  tolerances  and variations allowable as established by the commissioner,
  he shall condemn the same and either seize it or order  it  repaired  or
  removed.  In  the case of seizure, such device or system may be disposed
  of only as directed by the commissioner or his authorized agent.
    2. No person  shall  use  or  attempt  to  use,  for  the  purpose  of
  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.
