Upon the conviction of any person pursuant to Section 594 subsection (c)(2) of the California Penal Code for acts of vandalism, the court may, in addition to any other punishment imposed under subdivision (b) of that section, provided that the court determines that the defendant has the ability to pay any law enforcement costs not exceeding two hundred fifty dollars ($250), order the defendant to pay all or part of the costs not to exceed two hundred fifty dollars ($250) incurred by the law enforcement agency in identifying and apprehending the defendant. The law enforcement agency shall provide evidence of, and bear the burden of establishing the reasonable costs that it incurred in identifying and apprehending the defendant. Law enforcement costs authorized to be paid pursuant to this section are in addition to any other costs incurred or recovered by the law enforcement agency, and payment of these costs does not in any way limit, preclude or restrict any other right, remedy, or action otherwise available to the law enforcement agency.
