Section 10.12.120 Parking violation notice--Prima facie presumption.
A. In any prosecution charging a violation
of any law or regulation governing the standing
or parking of a vehicle, the person in whose name the vehicle is registered as owner shall be
subject to the penalty therefor. It is the clear purpose of the city of Hamilton to impose absolute
liability arising from the ownership of any such vehicle standing or parking unlawfully.
B. Whenever evidence shows that a
vehicle has been reported as stolen at the time in
question, or was not parked illegally, or that the person was not the registered owner of the
vehicle at the time of the alleged violation, that person is absolved of responsibility for the
particular offense. (Ord. 140 (part), 1998; Ord. 131 (part), 1998: prior code § 10.03.500)
