[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough of Hanover 2-19-1964 by Ord. No.
1211. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The members of the Police Department of the Borough of Hanover
are hereby authorized to have removed and impounded any vehicle violating
any parking ordinance of the Borough of Hanover.
Said removal and impounding shall be performed by a garage to
be designated and approved by the Council of the Borough of Hanover.
Said garage shall furnish and provide to the Borough of Hanover
a bond, in the amount as shall from time to time be fixed by Council,
indemnifying the owner of such vehicle against the loss thereof, or
injury or damage thereto, while in the custody of said garage.
The towing and storage charges performed hereunder shall be
fixed by the Council of the Borough of Hanover, collected by the Mayor
and paid into the Borough treasury.
Within 12 hours from the time of removal of such vehicle, notice
of the fact that such vehicle has been impounded shall be sent by
the Police Department to the owner of record of such vehicle, designating
the place from which said vehicle was removed, the reason for its
removal and impounding and the garage in which it has been impounded.
The payment of the charges herein provided, unless such payment
shall be made under protest, shall be final and conclusive and shall
constitute a waiver of any right to recover the money so paid.
In the event the towing and impounding charges are paid under
protest, the offender shall be entitled to a hearing before a Magisterial
District Judge, Mayor or court of record having jurisdiction, in which
case the defendant shall be proceeded against and receive such notice
as is provided by the Vehicle Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania[1] in other cases of summary offenses, and shall have the
same rights to appeal and waiver of hearing.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
No vehicle shall be removed under the authority of this chapter
if, at the time of such intended removal, the owner or person for
the time being in charge of such vehicle is present and expresses
a willingness and intention to immediately remove said vehicle.
