722. If the bailiff is convinced that there is property of value on the debtor’s person, the bailiff may apply to the court for authorization to seize the property on the debtor’s person and to obtain the assistance of a peace officer if necessary. The application need not be notified to the debtor.
Before making the seizure so authorized, the bailiff must ask the debtor to hand over the property. If the debtor refuses, the bailiff may search the debtor, with the assistance of a peace officer if necessary. The search and seizure is carried out in such a manner as to limit violations of personal rights and freedoms.
