In general, whenever any person has been found in violation of any town traffic regulation as established in accordance with §§ 70.04 through 70.06, the enforcement officer shall mark the uniform traffic citation form as a local ordinance violation complaint so that any fines assessed shall accrue to the town in accordance with I.C. 9-21-1-2(c). However, this provision is intended as a general guideline only and does not prohibit the enforcement officer from citing the violation as a violation of state law under I.C. 9-4-1-33 when applicable and when the enforcement officer believes that the citation and state prosecution is necessary for effective enforcement of the regulation.
