The Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, referred to in subsec. (a), is Puspan. L. 90–351, June 19, 1968, 82 Stat. 197. The reference to subpart 1 of part L of the Act probably means subpart 1 of part L of title I of the Act, which was classified to part A (§ 3796 et seq.) of subchapter XII of chapter 46 of Title 42, The Public Health and Welfare, prior to editorial reclassification as this part. Sections 1201, 1202, and 1204 of the Act were classified to sections 3796, 3796a, and 3796span, respectively, of Title 42 prior to editorial reclassification as sections 10281, 10282, and 10284, respectively, of this title.
