§ 86-113. Service of parking notice of civil violations.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    A parking notice of civil violation shall be presented to the operator of a vehicle who is present at the time of service. If the operator is not present, the parking notice of civil violation shall be placed upon the vehicle noted in the violation notice in a conspicuous place. The original parking notice of civil violation shall bear the identification/badge number of the issuing officer. The issuance of such parking notice of civil violation shall constitute affirmation by the issuing officer of the truth of the facts set forth therein. An operator of a vehicle who is not the owner thereof, but who operates the vehicle with permission of the owner, expressed or implied, shall be considered the agent of the owner to receive a parking notice of civil violation required to be served upon the operator or registered owner of a vehicle in accordance with the provisions herein.

    (b)

    In the event the registered owner or operator of a vehicle drives the vehicle away from or leaves the site of the parking notice of civil violation while the issuing officer is preparing the notice of civil violation, or refuses service of the parking notice of civil violation, or discards the issued parking notice of civil violation, this fact shall be duly noted on the original and copies of the parking notice of civil violation. The original parking notice of civil violation shall constitute prima facie evidence the parking notice of civil violation was issued and that an attempt at service thereof was made in accordance with the provisions herein.
