Oy Yleisradio Ab:n televisiolupatarkastajalla ei takavarikosta ja etsinnästä rikosasioissa 12.6.1959 annetun lain 3 ja 15 §:n säännöksiin nähden ollut valtaa pitää kotietsintää. A, jonka todennäköisillä perusteilla epäiltiin noudattamatta radiolaitteista 17.1.1927 annetun lain säännöksiä käyttävän kodissaan radiolaitetta, ei siten estämällä lupatarkastajan pääsyn kotiinsa ollut syyllistynyt rangaistavaan menettelyyn.
