§ 97.02 SECURING CONTENTS OF VEHICLES.
   (A)   No person shall drive, move, park or in any other way operate any vehicle within the county unless said vehicle is operated and loaded so as to prevent any of its contents from dropping, shifting, leaking, blowing or otherwise escaping therefrom. In the event that the vehicle is transporting material such as garbage, recyclables, trash, rubbish, waste and derelict property or any other material that could escape, fall or blow from the vehicle, then said vehicle must be fully covered and secured with a close-fitting tarpaulin or other appropriate cover to prevent any release of its contents.
   (B)   Any person in control of any vehicle from which any materials or objects have fallen, blown, leaked, shifted or otherwise escaped may be cited and fined in accordance with this chapter.
   (C)   It is no defense under this section that the person did not intend, or was unaware of, the act charged.
