In any proceeding alleging a traffic violation, proof through the use of an automated vehicle identification system that the particular vehicle described in the penalty assessment notice used by one in such violation, together with proof that the person named in the penalty assessment notice was at the time of the violation the registered owner of the vehicle or the designated operator of the vehicle, shall constitute prima facie evidence that the registered owner of the vehicle was the person who was committing the violation at the point where, and for the time during which, the violation occurred. This presumption may be rebutted if the finder of fact determines that there is probative evidence that the registered owner of the vehicle or the operator designated by the registered owner of the vehicle was not operating the vehicle at the time the violation was committed. (Ord. No. 2023-09, § 6, 4-10-2023; Ord. No. 2005-05, § 1, 2-28-2005)
