134W: Disposal of perishable things

You could also call this:

"Officials can sell or throw away things that might go bad quickly"

If the Commissioner of Police or chief executive thinks something they've seized might go bad, rot, or spoil, they can get rid of it. They can choose how to do this and decide on a price to sell it for, or they might just have to pay to get rid of it. This rule is there because some things that are taken by the police or other officials might not last very long.
