When money or other property is taken from a defendant arrested upon a charge of a public offense, the officer taking it at the time shall give duplicate receipts therefor, specifying particularly the amount of the money, or the kind of property taken, one of which receipts the officer shall deliver to the defendant, and the other of which the officer shall file at once with the clerk of the court to which the complaint and other papers in the case by law are required to be sent.
When such property is taken by a police officer of any incorporated city, the officer shall deliver one of the receipts to the defendant and one, with the property, at once to the clerk or other person in charge of the police office in such city, or, if there is no such clerk or other person, then to the magistrate before whom such defendant may be taken for examination or trial.
