Section 32-5-152

Parking in violation of municipal ordinances; presumption as to person committing violation.

No person shall park, cause to be parked or knowingly permit an automobile or other motor vehicle which he owns to be parked, on any street in any municipality in this state in violation of an ordinance of such municipality. The presence of an unattended automobile or other motor vehicle parked on the streets of any municipality in violation of an ordinance of such municipality shall raise a prima facie presumption that the registered owner of the automobile or other motor vehicle committed or authorized the parking violation, and the burden of proof shall be upon the registered owner to show otherwise.
