The person in whose name the vehicle is registered shall be presumed to be the driver of a vehicle involved in fleeing from a police officer when, in violation of state law, the driver willfully fails to bring his vehicle to a stop, or otherwise flees or attempts to elude a pursuing police vehicle, after being given a visual or audible signal to stop by a uniformed officer in an appropriately marked official police vehicle. Proof may be made by a copy or facsimile of the registration of the vehicle with the State Highway Department or County Motor Vehicle License Department or any other licensing agency showing the name of the person to whom the license plates were issued. This proof shall constitute prima facie evidence of the fact that the person to whom the certificate of registration was issued was the driver of the vehicle. This presumption may be rebutted by competent evidence. (Ord. 19180)
