(Added by Ord. No. 169,785, Eff. 6/9/94.)
It shall be unlawful for any person to install, operate, use or maintain any vehicle theft alarm system which utilizes an audible status indicator emitting or causing the emission of an audible sound for a duration of more than one minute.
The time period shall be calculated from the point in time of the emission of the first audible sound used in calculation and shall end one minute thereafter, notwithstanding any variation or temporary stoppage in the emission of audible sound.
As used in this section, an audible status indicator is a component of a vehicle theft alarm system which emits sound audible outside the vehicle for the purpose of warning that a vehicle theft alarm system is installed and armed or operational. The term “audible status indicator” shall include any device which emits a chirp, voice message or other sound when an approaching person is within a certain distance of the vehicle in which the device is installed.
In the event enforcement of a violation occurs under this section, no enforcement shall be taken under Section 80.75.l of the Municipal Code for the same violation.
Violation of any provision of this section shall constitute an infraction.
