29-05-32. Release of information contained in complaint or warrant
The magistrate who issues a warrant for arrest shall order the information in the complaint
and warrant confidential, if the law enforcement officer articulates a reason for the confidentiality
that convinces the issuing magistrate that limited confidentiality is necessary for the safety of the
law enforcement officer or to enable the warrant to be properly served. The magistrate shall limit
the duration of the order to the time of the arrest of the accused and shall exempt law
enforcement officers in the performance of official duties.
