  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.
