(a) A Law Enforcement Officer prior to the issuance of any Ticket shall examine all the evidence of the alleged Traffic Law Violation recorded by a traffic law photo-monitoring device to determine whether such a violation has occurred. If the image recorded by a traffic law photo-monitoring device shows such a violation, contains the date and time of the violation, and shows the letter and numerals on the license plate of the vehicle involved, as well as the state that issued the license plate, the Law Enforcement Officer may use any lawful means to identify the Registered Owner.
(b) The fact that a person or entity is the Registered Owner of a motor vehicle is prima facie
evidence that person or entity is the person who was operating the vehicle at the time of the Traffic Law Violation.
(c) A certified copy of the Ticket alleging a Traffic Law Violation, sworn to or affirmed by a Law Enforcement Officer, including the electronic means, and the Recorded Images produced by traffic law photo-monitoring device on the date and at the time and the location where a violation occurred, is prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein and is admissible in a proceeding for review of the Ticket issued under this Chapter.
