The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.

 

(g)        Upon the request of the person who submitted to a chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the test or tests must be made available to him or his attorney.

Sec. 22-81.      Attempt to Solicit From Vehicle - Impoundment

 

The owner of record of any motor vehicle which is used in connection with a violation of Sec. 22-80 or that contains cannabis as defined by the Illinois Cannabis Act or a controlled substance as defined by the Illinois Controlled Substance Act shall be subject to seizure and impoundment and liable to the City for an administrative penalty not to exceed $500.00 plus any towing and storage fees, as hereinafter provided.

 

(1)        This Sub-section shall not apply:

 

(1)        If the vehicle used in the violation was stolen at the time and the theft was reported to the appropriate police authorities within 24 hours after the theft was discovered; or

 

(2)        If the vehicle is operating as a common carrier and the violation occurs without the knowledge of the person in control of the vehicle.

 

(2)        Whenever a police officer has probable cause to believe that a vehicle is subject to seizure and impoundment pursuant to this Section, the police officer shall provide for the towing of the vehicle to a facility controlled by the City or its agents.  Before or at the time the vehicle is towed, the police officer shall notify any person identifying himself as the owner of the vehicle or any person who is found to be in control of the vehicle at the time of the alleged violation, of the fact of the seizure and the vehicle owner's right to request a vehicle impoundment hearing to be conducted under this Section.

 

(3)        If the owner of record of a vehicle seized pursuant to this Section desires to appeal the seizure, said owner must make a request for said hearing within twenty-four (24) hours of the seizure.  Said request shall be in writing and filed with the Chief of Police or his designee.  If an appeal is timely filed, a Hearing Officer of the City shall conduct such appeal hearing within forty-eight (48) hours after the request, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.  All interested persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the vehicle impoundment hearing.  The formal rules of evidence will not apply at the hearing and hearsay evidence shall be admissible.  If, after the hearing, the Hearing Officer determines there is probable cause to believe that the vehicle is subject to seizure and impoundment pursuant to this Section, the Hearing Officer shall order the continued impoundment of the vehicle as provided in this Section, unless the owner of the vehicle posts with the Collection Department, a cash bond in the amount of Five Hundred and no/100 Dollars ($500.00), plus any applicable towing and storage fees.

 

(4)        Unless a hearing is held pursuant to (3) above, within 10 days after a vehicle is seized and impounded pursuant to this Section, the City shall notify by certified mail, return receipt requested, the owner of record of the date, time and location of a hearing that will be conducted, pursuant to this Section.  The hearing shall be scheduled and held, unless continued by order of the Hearing Officer, no later than 45 days after the vehicle was seized. The hearing shall be conducted by a Hearing Officer appointed by the Mayor.  All interested persons shall be given a reasonable opportunity to be heard at the hearing.  If, after the hearing, the Hearing Officer determines by a preponderance of evidence that the vehicle was used in connection with a violation of Section 30-225, and that none of the exceptions described in clauses (1) or (2) of Sub-section (a) applies, the Hearing Officer shall enter an order finding the owner of record of the vehicle civilly liable to the City for an administrative penalty in the amount not to exceed $500.00. If the owner of record fails to appear at the hearing, the Hearing Officer shall enter a default order in favor of the City requiring the payment to the City of an administrative penalty in an amount not to exceed $500.00. If the Hearing Officer finds that no such violation occurred, the Hearing Officer shall order the immediate return of the owner's vehicle or cash bond.

 

(5)        If an administrative penalty is imposed pursuant to this Section, such penalty shall constitute a debt due and owing to the City.  If a cash bond has been posted pursuant to this Section, the bond shall be applied to the penalty.  If a vehicle has been impounded when such a penalty is imposed, the City  may seek to obtain a judgment on the debt and enforce such judgment against the vehicle as provided by law.  Except as provided otherwise in this Section, a vehicle shall continue to be impounded until:

If the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid within 30 days after an administrative penalty is imposed under Sub-section (d) against an owner of record who defaults by failing to appear at the hearing, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles.  In all other cases, if the administrative penalty and applicable fees are not paid within 30 days after the expiration of time at which administrative review of the Hearing Officer's determination may be sought, or within 30 days after an action seeking administrative review has been resolved in favor of the City, whichever is applicable, the vehicle shall be deemed unclaimed and shall be disposed of in the manner provided by law for the disposition of unclaimed vehicles under Section 4-208 of the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/4-208).  Except as otherwise specifically provided by law, no owner, lien holder or other person shall be legally entitled to take possession of a vehicle impounded under this Section until the civil penalty and fees applicable under this Section have been paid.  However, whenever a person with a lien or record against an impounded vehicle has commenced foreclosure proceedings, possession of the vehicle shall be given to that person if he or she agrees in writing to refund to the City the amount of the net proceeds of any foreclosure sale, less any amounts required to pay all lien holders of record, not to exceed $500.00, plus the applicable fees.
