Upon this review, the notice of parking violation or notice of delinquent parking violation and all penalties and fees based thereon may be canceled by the police department if a determination is made that either the violation did not occur, that extenuating circumstances make dismissal of the citation appropriate in the interest of justice, or that the registered owner was not responsible for the violation; however, under no circumstances shall a personal relationship with any officer, public official, or law enforcement agency be grounds for cancellation. The decision of the police department shall be mailed to the person requesting review.
