thorized and conducted inspections help maintain the high standards set for the profession. However, a pharmacist is entitled to know the purpose and intended scope of an inspection. If he is unsure of the limits of an inspector's authority or believes that the inspector proposes to exceed his legal authority, he may ask for a statement of the limits of the inspector's authority. He may also ask the intended scope of the inspection, or he may require a warrant and not fear criminal or civil prosecution for doing so. On the other hand, by following these procedures, the inspector can also be assured that records or drugs procured during the course of his inspection will be admissible in Court. Thus, under the guides established by the Supreme Court in the Camara and See cases, the interests of the public and the pharmacist receive balanced treatment under the Fourth Amendment.
