6-2-22: ENTRY ONTO PRIVATE LAND OR PREMISES:
An animal control officer, in the course of his/her duties in enforcing this chapter, shall have the privilege of entering onto private land without permission, but shall not enter into any dwelling or building without permission, authorization or search warrant. If there is probable cause to believe that any animal is being subjected to treatment in violation of section 6-2-19, "Cruelty To Animals", of this chapter and is inside a dwelling or enclosure where entry is not allowable or permissible, an officer, after obtaining a search warrant in the manner authorized by law, may enter the premises where the animal is being held, provide food and water and impound such animal. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to allow an animal control officer to violate any person's constitutional rights. (Ord. 630-10, 1-11-2011)
