Provisional release under seizure provisions is available only where the statute expressly permits it; section 130's release on payment of fine operates after a final confiscation order, so initiation of confiscation does not authorize retention. Detention requires compliance with the transit-detention procedure; inspection under the MOV forms is time-bound and ends on completion of physical verification, after which possession cannot be lawfully continued without a statutory detention order. Property deprivation must be by law under Article 300A and officers must show source of power.
