It shall be the duty of every police officer, upon making any arrest and taking a
weapon under any provision of this article, to deliver such weapon to the clerk of
the court of appropriate jurisdiction, to be held by the clerk until the final determination
of the prosecution. Upon a finding of guilt, it shall be the duty of the clerk to
deliver the weapon or weapons forthwith to the Miami-Dade Police Department which
shall dispose of the weapon. If the person charged be acquitted of the offense, the
weapon taken from him shall be returned to him upon request; provided, however, that
if it is not called for within sixty (60) days from and after the date of his acquittal
or the dismissal of the charges against him, the weapon shall be disposed of as in
the case of conviction.
