Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 80.69(a), "Stopping or Standing Prohibited", states, "Whenever authorized
signs are in place giving notice that stopping or standing is prohibited during such hours or on such days as are
indicated on such signs, it shall be unlawful for any person to stop or stand or park any vehicle at any time during
such hours or such days."
In determining the outcome of a disputed citation, Hearing Examiners must follow the applicable law, most of which
is contained in the California Vehicle Code and the Los Angeles Municipal Code. Section 40202(a) of the California
Vehicle Code sets forth that the information required on a Notice of Parking Violation shall be considered a "record
kept in the ordinary course of business" and "shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein."
_ ‘ Essentially, a complete citation establishes the facts listed upon it, without requiring‘ the testimony of a Traic
Officer to verify it. A Respondent may introduce evidence rebutting certain facts on the citation, or establishing a
defense or the presence of extenuating circumstances; these need not necessarily contradict facts recited on the
citation. Hearing Examiners will assess all evidence and make a decision based on a "preponderance of evidence."
lefé
