Such 10 demonstration program shall empower such county to install and operate 11 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring devices at no more 12 than one hundred intersections within and under the jurisdiction of such 13 county at any one time. 14 2. Such demonstration program shall utilize necessary technologies to 15 ensure, to the extent practicable, that photographs produced by such 16 traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring systems shall not 17 include images that identify the driver, the passengers, or the contents 18 of the vehicle. Provided, however, that no notice of liability issued 19 pursuant to this section shall be dismissed solely because a photograph 20 or photographs allow for the identification of the contents of a vehi- 21 cle, provided that such county has made a reasonable effort to comply 22 with the provisions of this paragraph. 23 (b) In any such county which has adopted a local law or ordinance 24 pursuant to subdivision (a) of this section, the owner of a vehicle 25 shall be liable for a penalty imposed pursuant to this section if such 26 vehicle was used or operated with the permission of the owner, express 27 or implied, in violation of subdivision (d) of section eleven hundred 28 eleven of this article, and such violation is evidenced by information 29 obtained from a traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring 30 system; provided however that no owner of a vehicle shall be liable for 31 a penalty imposed pursuant to this section where the operator of such 32 vehicle has been convicted of the underlying violation of subdivision 33 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article. 34 (c) For purposes of this section, "owner" shall have the meaning 35 provided in article two-B of this chapter. For purposes of this section, 36 "traffic-control signal photo violation-monitoring system" shall mean a 37 vehicle sensor installed to work in conjunction with a traffic-control 38 signal which automatically produces two or more photographs, two or more 39 microphotographs, a videotape or other recorded images of each vehicle 40 at the time it is used or operated in violation of subdivision (d) of 41 section eleven hundred eleven of this article. 42 (d) A certificate, sworn to or affirmed by a technician employed by 43 Westchester county in which the charged violation occurred, or a facsim- 44 ile thereof, based upon inspection of photographs, microphotographs, 45 videotape or other recorded images produced by a traffic-control signal 46 photo violation-monitoring system, shall be prima facie evidence of the 47 facts contained therein. Any photographs, microphotographs, videotape or 48 other recorded images evidencing such a violation shall be available for 49 inspection in any proceeding to adjudicate the liability for such 50 violation pursuant to a local law or ordinance adopted pursuant to this 51 section. 52 (e) An owner liable for a violation of subdivision (d) of section 53 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to a local law or ordi- 54 nance adopted pursuant to this section shall be liable for monetary 55 penalties in accordance with a schedule of fines and penalties to be set 56 forth in such local law or ordinance. The liability of the owner pursu-A. 11243 9 1 ant to this section shall not exceed fifty dollars for each violation; 2 provided, however, that such local law or ordinance may provide for an 3 additional penalty not in excess of twenty-five dollars for each 4 violation for the failure to respond to a notice of liability within the 5 prescribed time period. 6 (f) An imposition of liability under a local law or ordinance adopted 7 pursuant to this section shall not be deemed a conviction as an operator 8 and shall not be made part of the operating record of the person upon 9 whom such liability is imposed nor shall it be used for insurance 10 purposes in the provision of motor vehicle insurance coverage. 11 (g) 1. A notice of liability shall be sent by first class mail to each 12 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision 13 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this 14 section. Personal delivery on the owner shall not be required. A manual 15 or automatic record of mailing prepared in the ordinary course of busi- 16 ness shall be prima facie evidence of the facts contained therein. 17 2. A notice of liability shall contain the name and address of the 18 person alleged to be liable as an owner for a violation of subdivision 19 (d) of section eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this 20 section, the registration number of the vehicle involved in such 21 violation, the location where such violation took place, the date and 22 time of such violation and the identification number of the camera which 23 recorded the violation or other document locator number. 24 3. The notice of liability shall contain information advising the 25 person charged of the manner and the time in which he or she may contest 26 the liability alleged in the notice. Such notice of liability shall also 27 contain a warning to advise the persons charged that failure to contest 28 in the manner and time provided shall be deemed an admission of liabil- 29 ity and that a default judgment may be entered thereon. 30 4. The notice of liability shall be prepared and mailed by Westchester 31 county or by any other entity authorized by such county to prepare and 32 mail such notification of violation. 33 (h) Adjudication of the liability imposed upon owners by this section 34 shall be by the court having jurisdiction over traffic infractions. 35 (i) If an owner receives a notice of liability pursuant to this 36 section for any time period during which the vehicle was reported to the 37 police department as having been stolen, it shall be a valid defense to 38 an allegation of liability for a violation of subdivision (d) of section 39 eleven hundred eleven of this article pursuant to this section that the 40 vehicle had been reported to the police as stolen prior to the time the 41 violation occurred and had not been recovered by such time. For 42 purposes of asserting the defense provided by this subdivision it shall 43 be sufficient that a certified copy of the police report on the stolen 44 vehicle be sent by first class mail to the court having jurisdiction. 45 (j) An owner who is a lessor of a vehicle to which a notice of liabil- 46 ity was issued pursuant to subdivision (g) of this section shall not be 47 liable for the violation of subdivision (d) of section eleven hundred 48 eleven of this article, provided that he or she sends to the court 49 having jurisdiction a copy of the rental, lease or other such contract 50 document covering such vehicle on the date of the violation, with the 51 name and address of the lessee clearly legible, within thirty-seven days 52 after receiving notice from the court of the date and time of such 53 violation, together with the other information contained in the original 54 notice of liability.
