[Ord. No. 850 §3.010, 4-27-1981]
A. If
any vehicle is parked upon any highway, street, alley, or other property
of or within the City in violation of any provision of this Title
or any other ordinance of the City, and if there is not then sufficient
evidence of the identity of the person who so parked such vehicle
in violation of ordinance, the registered owner of such vehicle shall
be presumed to be the person who last operated or directed the operation
of such vehicle immediately prior to its being parked in violation.
Pursuant to such presumption, any Law Enforcement Officer may issue
a traffic citation charging such registered owner with the violation
of the applicable ordinance. Such presumption may be rebutted only
if such registered owner furnishes the name, address, and operator's
license number of the person operating said vehicle at the time the
violation occurred to the City Police Department, City Attorney, or
Clerk of the Municipal Division of the Circuit Court within three
(3) business days after receipt by such owner of a written request
for such information. The burden of going forward with such evidence
shall rest with such registered owner. Any registered owner who fails
or refuses to provide such information within the period required
by this Subsection shall be liable for the imposition of any fine
established by ordinance for the violation.
B. "Receipt of written request for such information," as used
in this Section, shall be deemed to include any refusal or failure
to claim such written request mailed to the last known or officially
registered address of such owner by certified mail, return receipt
requested, as evidenced by ordinary postal service records.
