Article 142Attendance of the Owner, etc.

第百四十二条(所有者等の立会い)

When carrying out an inspection, search, seizure or seizure with a recording order in a person's residence or in premises, a building or any other place guarded by a person, the relevant official must have its owner or manager (including their representative, agent or any other person who is to act in their place), or an employee of such a person or a relative living together with such a person who has reached the age of majority, attend.

当該職員は、人の住居又は人の看守する邸宅若しくは建造物その他の場所で臨検、捜索、差押え又は記録命令付差押えをするときは、その所有者若しくは管理者(これらの者の代表者、代理人その他これらの者に代わるべき者を含む。)又はこれらの者の使用人若しくは同居の親族で成年に達した者を立ち会わせなければならない。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, when the relevant official cannot have a person prescribed in that paragraph attend, the official must have a neighbor who has reached the age of majority, or a police officer or an official of a local public entity of that locality, attend.

前項の場合において、同項に規定する者を立ち会わせることができないときは、その隣人で成年に達した者又はその地の警察官若しくは地方公共団体の職員を立ち会わせなければならない。

In the case where an inspection, search or seizure is carried out pursuant to the provisions of Article 135 (Inspection, Search or Seizure in a Case of a Flagrant Offense), if the matter is urgent, the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs need not be followed.

第百三十五条(現行犯事件の臨検、捜索又は差押え)の規定により臨検、捜索又は差押えをする場合において、急速を要するときは、前二項の規定によることを要しない。

When the body of a woman is searched, an adult woman must be made to attend; provided, however, that this does not apply in the case where the matter is urgent.

女子の身体について捜索をするときは、成年の女子を立ち会わせなければならない。ただし、急速を要する場合は、この限りでない。
