For the purposes of this ordinance, a public highway shall include any Township street or state highway.
An emergency situation is one which is caused by accident, casualty or other unexpected circumstances which render a motor vehicle inoperative or immobile, provided that no such emergency situation shall be deemed to exist for a period of more than 12 consecutive hours after said accident, casualty or other unexpected circumstances; however, in the case of snow or other weather conditions, the Township shall have the right to remove a disabled vehicle immediately.
In any proceeding for a violation of the provisions of this ordinance; the registration plate, if any, displayed on such motor vehicle shall be prima facie evidence that the owner of the said motor vehicle was either operating said motor vehicle or was in operation and control of said motor vehicle at the time of said violation.
Upon the filing with the Township of proof of insurance indemnifying the Township of Springfield and the owner of any motor vehicle whose motor vehicle may be impounded or stored against the loss thereof, or injury or damage thereto while in the custody of such poundkeeper, designations of official pounds for the impounding and storage of any vehicle removed, towed, stored or impounded under this ordinance or any other ordinance of the Township will be made.
The amount of indemnity required under this ordinance to be provided by the poundkeeper shall be in the minimum amount of $2,500 for each vehicle removed, towed, stored or impounded.
Within 12 hours from the time of the removal of any motor vehicle, as provided under this ordinance, notice of the fact that such motor vehicle has been impounded shall be sent by the Township of Springfield Police Department to the owner of record of such motor vehicle, designating the place from which said motor vehicle was removed, the reason for its removal and impounding and the pound in which it has been impounded.
The payment of any charges imposed under this ordinance, unless such payments shall be made under protest, shall be final and conclusive and shall constitute a waiver of any right to recover this money so paid.
In the event that removal, towing, storage and impounding charges are paid under protest, the person so paying shall be entitled to a hearing before a Justice of the Peace, in which case said person shall be proceeded against and receive such notice as is provided by the Motor Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The period of time in which the information under the said Motor Vehicle Code need be filed shall be computed from the date of the removal or towing or the date of payment under protest, whichever is later.
