A vehicle which is parked in violation of this chapter or of any rule or regulation adopted hereunder, regulating the parking of vehicles, is hereby declared to be a nuisance which may be abated or caused to be abated by the Township Chief of Police and/or Sheriff or his or her authorized deputy by impounding or causing to be impounded, said motor vehicle by removing and conveying, or causing to be removed or conveyed, such vehicle to place of impoundment. Before the owner or operator may remove any vehicle which has thus been impounded, said owner shall pay to the township the expenses incurred for the removal and conveyance of said vehicle to the place of impoundment and for the storage of the vehicle. The payment of said expense shall not release the owner or operator of such vehicle of any penalty imposed for violation of traffic laws, ordinances, rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto, but the remedy of impoundment shall be cumulative and in addition to other legal remedies.
