§390.5.  Warehousing and storage

It is the duty of the sheriffs of the respective parishes, upon the finding of any bulk storage of any communist propaganda, to enter upon the premises where the material is found, clear the premises of all human occupants, and padlock the premises until judicially ordered to reopen them.  The owner of any padlocked premises may, upon application to the district court of proper jurisdiction and upon showing the court that the premises can be immediately cleared of the prohibited contraband material, obtain an order from the court to the sheriff, authorizing him to supervise the removal of the contraband by the owner of the premises and to re-open the premises thereafter.
