(a) No person shall enter upon private property in or on any kind of vehicle without the expressed or implied permission of the owner, lessee or occupant of such property or an agent of any of such persons. In any proceedings for a violation of this section, proof that the particular vehicle described in the citation, complaint or warrant was in violation of this section, together with proof that the defendant named in the citation, complaint or warrant was, at the time of the violation, the registered owner of the vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a presumption that the registered owner of the vehicle was the person responsible for entering upon the private parking area in violation of this section.
(b) Before this section shall be effective in any parking area, suitable signs must be first posted which will apprize the ordinarily observant person of the restricted use of the parking area. For the purpose of this section, implied permission shall be deemed granted to any person for the use designated by such signs. The owner of such property shall place on file with the Police Department a letter authorizing the Police Department to enter upon such property for the purpose of enforcing this section. The filing of such letter by the property owner shall constitute in evidence a presumption that the property owner has made a complaint for a violation of this section and authorized the Police Department to take enforcement action against violators of this section.
