It shall be unlawful for any person to permit any disabled motor
vehicle to be parked or located upon any public street, alley or right-of-way
for a period of time in excess of seventy-two (72) hours.
B.
Identification Of Disabled Vehicles.
1.
For the purpose of this Section, a "disabled motor vehicle"
shall mean any motor vehicle which cannot be self-propelled in a safe
manner without causing damage to any public or private property. A
motor vehicle shall be presumed to be disabled if one (1) or more
of the following exists:
a.
Any motor vehicle which is not properly or legally licensed
with the State license plate affixed thereto in the manner prescribed
by law.
b.
Any motor vehicle which does not have a valid motor vehicle
inspection sticker affixed to the vehicle as required by law.
c.
Any motor vehicle which as a result of plain-view inspection
appears to be mechanically inoperable as a result of missing components
to include, but not necessarily limited to, the engine, drive train
or wheels.
2.
In the event that one (1) or more of the above-listed presumptions
is not apparent, a motor vehicle may still be tagged and identified,
in the manner hereinafter set forth, as a disabled motor vehicle if
a member of the City Police Department has probable cause to believe
that the motor vehicle in question is not operable. In such event,
such member of the City Police Department shall make all reasonable
efforts to locate the owner of such vehicle and require the owner
or operator thereof to move the motor vehicle in question. If the
vehicle cannot be so moved or if the owner or operator cannot be located,
such vehicle shall be deemed to be a disabled vehicle for the purposes
of this Section.
C.
Procedure And Towing.
1.
Procedure. At such time as any motor vehicle
is found to be or presumed to be disabled, a member of the City Police
Department shall tag and identify such vehicle as being a disabled
motor vehicle. The tag so identifying any such vehicle shall be securely
attached to the vehicle in a conspicuous place. Such tag shall identify
the vehicle by license number, make and model and shall state thereon
the date and time that the vehicle was found or presumed to be disabled
and shall clearly advise the owner or operator that if such vehicle
is not repaired or removed from the City street, alley or right-of-way,
that such vehicle shall be towed and stored at the owner's expense.
The City Police Department shall keep a duplicate of such tag or shall,
by some other means, record the fact that such vehicle was tagged
as a disabled vehicle.
2.
If, at the expiration of the seventy-two (72) hour period as established by Subsection (A) hereof and as initiated by the tagging of such vehicle, such vehicle has not been repaired and/or removed from such City street, alley or right-of-way, the City Police Department shall cause such motor vehicle to be towed and stored at the owner's expense.
3.
The owner of any disabled vehicle who does not remove or repair
a disabled motor vehicle within the seventy-two (72) hour period established
by this Section shall, in addition to being responsible for the cost
of any towing or storage bill, be subject to a fine of not less than
one dollar ($1.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00). A
claim by the owner that he/she was not aware of the vehicle being
tagged or that the tag was removed shall not be a defense to a charge
that this Section was violated.
