A. 
If any vehicle is parked upon any highway, street, alley, or other property of or within the City in violation of any provision of this Title or any other ordinance of the City, and if there is not then sufficient evidence of the identity of the person who so parked such vehicle in violation of ordinance, the registered owner of such vehicle shall be presumed to be the person who last operated or directed the operation of such vehicle immediately prior to its being parked in violation. Pursuant to such presumption, any Law Enforcement Officer may issue a traffic citation charging such registered owner with the violation of the applicable ordinance. Such presumption may be rebutted only if such registered owner furnishes the name, address, and operator's license number of the person operating said vehicle at the time the violation occurred to the City Police Department, City Attorney, or Clerk of the Municipal Division of the Circuit Court within three (3) business days after receipt by such owner of a written request for such information. The burden of going forward with such evidence shall rest with such registered owner. Any registered owner who fails or refuses to provide such information within the period required by this Subsection shall be liable for the imposition of any fine established by ordinance for the violation.
B. 
"Receipt of written request for such information," as used in this Section, shall be deemed to include any refusal or failure to claim such written request mailed to the last known or officially registered address of such owner by certified mail, return receipt requested, as evidenced by ordinary postal service records.
