JUDICIAL DECISIONS

Constitutionality.

- O.C.G.A. §§ 44-12-133 and44-12-137, authorizing a warrantless inspection of pawnshop records, do not violate the fourth amendment. Howell v. Roberts, 656 F. Supp. 1150 (N.D. Ga. 1987).

The law regulating pawnshops does not lack a rational basis. Howell v. Roberts, 656 F. Supp. 1150 (N.D. Ga. 1987).

Due process is not violated simply because a local authority arguably misapplies or exceeds its authority under the relevant state statutes, as where a police officer from one county seeks to inspect a pawnshop record book in another county under O.C.G.A. §§ 44-12-133 and44-12-137. Howell v. Roberts, 656 F. Supp. 1150 (N.D. Ga. 1987).
