"SEC. 415. (a) A warrant under this section shall be required for any entry or adminstrative inspection (including impoundment of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment) authorized by section 414 of this Act, except if such entry or inspection is— " (1) with the consent of the owner, operator, or agent in charge of the factory, warehouse, establishment, or premises; "(2) in situations involving inspection of motor vehicles where there is reasonable cause to believe that the mobility of the motor vehicle makes it impracticable to obtain a warrant; " (3) in any other exceptional or emergency circumstance where time or opportunity to apply for a warrant is lacking; "(4) for access to and examination of books, records, and any other documentary evidence pursuant to section 414(c)(2); or "(5) in any other situations where a warrant is not constitutionally required. "(b) Issuance and execution of administrative inspection warrants shall be as follows: "(1) Any judge of the United States or of a State court of record, or any United States magistrate, may, within his territorial jurisdiction, and upon proper oath or affirmation showing probable cause, issue warrants for the purpose of conducting administrative inspections authorized by section 414 and of impoundment of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment appropriate to such inspections. For the purposes of this section, the term 'probable cause' means a valid public interest in the effective enforcement of this title or regulations issued thereunder sufficient to justify administrative inspections of the area, factory, warehouse, establishment, premises, or motor vehicle, or contents thereof, in the circumstances specified in the application for the warrant.
