165.74  Seizure  and  distribution  or  destruction  of goods bearing
         counterfeit trademarks.
Any  goods  manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,  distributed  or
  produced  in  violation  of  this  article  may  be seized by any police
  officer. The magistrate must, within forty-eight hours after arraignment
  of the defendant, determine whether probable  cause  exists  to  believe
  that   the   goods  had  been  manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,
  distributed or produced in violation of this article, and upon a finding
  that  probable  cause  exists  to  believe  that  the  goods  had   been
  manufactured,  sold,  offered  for  sale,  distributed,  or  produced in
  violation of this article, the court shall authorize such articles to be
  retained as evidence pending the trial of the defendant. Upon conviction
  of the defendant, the articles in respect whereof the  defendant  stands
  convicted  shall  be destroyed or donated. Destruction shall not include
  auction, sale or distribution of  the  items  in  their  original  form.
  Donation  of  the items shall be made at the court's discretion upon the
  request of any law enforcement agency and pursuant to  the  restrictions
  and  procedures of section three hundred sixty-m of the general business
  law, for the benefit of indigent individuals.
