No person shall display evidence of insurance to a Law Enforcement
Officer knowing there is no valid liability insurance in effect on
the motor vehicle as required pursuant to this Article or knowing
the evidence of insurance is illegally altered, counterfeit or otherwise
invalid as evidence of insurance. If the Law Enforcement Officer issues
a citation to a motor vehicle operator for displaying invalid evidence
of insurance, the officer shall confiscate the evidence for presentation
in court. Any person convicted of violating this Section is guilty
of an ordinance violation.
No person shall alter an invalid insurance card to make it appear
valid. No person knowingly shall make, sell or otherwise make available
an invalid or counterfeit insurance card. Any person who violates
this Section is guilty of an ordinance violation.
[Ord. No. 1159 §1, 1-24-2011]
It shall be unlawful for a person to present, display, use,
advertise, prepare, manufacture, distribute, offer for sale or barter,
sell or trade, or possess with an intent to misrepresent any card
or document which is represented to be a valid motor vehicle insurance
certificate issued to the person, persons, or legal entity therein
named which has been prepared with false information, is expired,
is invalid due to non-payment of premium, or any card or document
which the information thereon has in any way been altered, and therefore
is not a valid motor vehicle insurance certificate issued to the person,
persons, or legal entity therein named.
