317.02 GENERAL.

   (a)   Notwithstanding any other provision of the traffic code ordinances of the Village, the Village hereby adopts a civil enforcement program for Officer-Enforced Traffic Law Violations as is outlined in this Chapter. This program imposes monetary liability on the Registered Owner or Designated Party of a vehicle for failure of the operator thereof to strictly comply with the posted speed limit on streets or highways within the Village. The imposition of a liability under this Chapter shall not be deemed a criminal conviction for any purpose and shall not be made part of the operating record of any person upon whom the liability is imposed.

   (b)   The Village's Chief of Police shall be responsible for administering the enforcement of violations resulting from the use of an Officer-Operated Handheld Traffic Law Enforcement Device.

   (c)   A Traffic Law Violation for which a civil penalty is imposed under this Chapter is not a moving violation and points shall not be assessed against a person's driver's license. In no case shall such a violation be reported to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or motor vehicle registration bureau, department, or office of any other state, nor shall such a violation be recorded on the driving record of the Registered Owner or Designated Party of a vehicle involved in the violation.

   (d)   The Village may utilize an Officer-Operated Handheld Traffic Law Enforcement Device for the purpose of detecting Traffic Law Violations in the Village and in the interest of public health and safety. (Ord. 2021-10. Passed 9-20-21.)
