Emergency Procedure regarding Nontestimonial Evidence
Upon application of the prosecuting authority,
the judicial authority by order may direct a law
enforcement officer to bring the defendant forthwith before the judicial authority for an immediate
hearing on a motion made under Sections 40-32
through 40-39, if an affidavit or testimony shows
that there is probable cause to believe that the
evidence sought will be altered, dissipated, or lost
if not promptly obtained. Upon presentation of the
defendant, the judicial authority shall inform the
defendant of his or her rights as specified in
Sections 37-3 through 37-6 and shall afford the
defendant reasonable opportunity to consult with
