(A) Police officers are hereby authorized to give notice to persons violating provisions of this part by delivering citation tags to violators or, in cases where vehicles without drivers are parked or stopped in violation of this chapter, by affixing such tags to the vehicles by means of which the violation occurred. Such citation tags, among other things, shall bear briefly the charge, shall bear the registration number of the vehicle, and shall direct the violator to present the tag at the police station or other designated place within the time as may be specified thereon.
(B) Nothing in this section shall be construed to abridge the power of a police officer to arrest any violator and take him into custody.
(C) The Chief of Police may require that the police officers use citation tags furnished by the city and that such tags are serially numbered, and may regulate the use and handling of the citation tags.
