(2) Any vehicle without a current and valid license plate and validation sticker affixed to the license plate that is parked at any time upon any city street or in any city operated off-street parking facility, garage or lot, shall be subject to the issuance of a parking citation and may be immediately impounded by or under the direction of a law enforcement officer.
