The Chief of Police or Superintendent, or their designees, may immediately correct any violation of §§ 96.177 or 96.178 if such violation is creating a dangerous or hazardous condition. If practical, the news rack creating the dangerous or hazardous condition shall be moved to the nearest location on the highway which removes the dangerous or hazardous condition. If it is not practical to effect such a removal, then the news rack may be immediately removed and impounded. If the news rack is impounded pursuant to this section, a written notice of such action shall be sent to the permittee, or person, if known, maintaining the news rack within two working days after the impoundment. Such notice shall advise the permittee as to the location of the news rack, and of the fact that the permittee may pick up the news rack at that location without fee or charge of any kind. Except as provided in this section, news racks shall not be removed or impounded.
