as to hours of sale that are stricter that the law. Those licenses are marked
°Conditional" (23805 B&P).
PD-10. Police officers, sheriff's deputies and ABC investigators are sworn law enforcement
officers (peace officers) with powers of arrest. Whether in plainclothes or uniform,
_ peace officers have the legal right to visit and inspect any licensed premises at any
time during business hours without a search warrant or probable cause. This
includes inspecting the bar and back bar, store room, office, closed or locked
