Such vehicle shall be removed by the operator, upon request of any law enforcement officer, to a position where parking, stopping, or standing is not prohibited. Any law enforcement officer, after issuing a citation for illegal parking, stopping, or standing of an unattended vehicle in violation of this article, is authorized to remove such vehicle to a position where parking is not prohibited. The officer may order a motor carrier holding a permit to perform vehicle towing services, a licensed motor vehicle salvage dealer or a licensed motor vehicle dealer who performs vehicle towing services to remove and store such vehicle in any storage garage or rental parking grounds or any facility of the person providing the Village services. In addition to other penalties provided by § 351-2, the owner or operator of a vehicle so removed shall pay the cost of towing and storage.
When any vehicle is found upon a street or highway in violation of any provision of this article regulating the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles and the identity of the operator cannot be determined, the owner, as shown by the ownership of registration of the vehicle supplied by the State Department of Transportation or a comparable authority of any other state, shall be subject to the appropriate penalty.
