The purpose of this chapter shall be to set standards for the operation
of motor-driven, off-road vehicles within the Town of West New York so as
to improve standards of safety as well as to minimize the impact of operation
of such vehicles on residents of the town, the public at large and the government.
It shall be the duty of any police officer to confiscate and impound
any off-road vehicle, as defined herein, when said vehicle is operated within
the town in violation of this chapter in the presence of the said officer
or when said officer has probable cause to believe said vehicle has been operated
in violation of this chapter. Said period of impoundment shall be from the
date of the alleged violation until the final disposition of the alleged offense
by such court of competent jurisdiction as shall hear the same. If the operator
is found guilty of said alleged offense, the owner of the offending vehicle
shall pay the reasonable costs of removal and storage relating to the said
impoundment, which is hereby deemed to be $8 per day. Said expense of impoundment
shall be in addition to any other fine or penalty levied or collected under
the terms of this chapter.
