§ 480-11. Violations and penalties.

A. 

Forfeiture penalty. The penalty for violation of any provision of this chapter shall be a forfeiture as hereinafter provided with costs of prosecution and the costs, fees and surcharges imposed under Ch. 814, Wis. Stats., where applicable. Payment of the judgment may be suspended by the sentencing judge for not more than 60 days. Any person who shall fail to pay the amount of the forfeiture, costs of prosecution and penalty imposed for violation of any provision of this chapter may, where otherwise permitted by law, upon order of the court entering judgment therefore and having jurisdiction of the case, be imprisoned until such forfeiture, costs and assessments are paid, but not exceeding 90 days.

B. 

Forfeitures for uniform traffic offenses. Forfeitures for violations of any traffic regulations set forth in the Wisconsin Statutes adopted by reference in § 480-1 shall conform to the forfeiture penalty permitted to be imposed for violations of the comparable state statute, including any variations or increases for subsequent offenses; provided, however, that this subsection shall not permit prosecution under this chapter of any offense for which an imprisonment penalty or fine may be imposed upon the defendant.

C. 

Nonmoving violations. Any person who shall violate any provision of this chapter for which a penalty is not established by Subsections A and B of this section or otherwise established in this chapter shall be subject to a forfeiture as provided in Chapter 1, § 1-3 of this Code.

Editor's Note: Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. II).

D. 

Parking. The forfeiture for a violation of § 480-3 or 480-4 shall be not less than $1 nor more than $25, except that the forfeiture for a violation of § 480-3C, Nighttime parking during snow removal, shall not be less than $2 nor more than $25. In the event this fine is not paid within a thirty-day period, the Chief of Police is authorized to take the necessary steps under Wisconsin law with the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles which eventually results in the licenses plates of any violator's vehicle being revoked or not reissued by the Department. Said procedure is already in effect in the Village of Westfield.

E. 

Other sanctions. Nothing herein shall preclude or affect the power of the sentencing court to exercise additional authorities granted by the Wisconsin Statutes to suspend or revoke the operating privileges of the defendant or to order the defendant to submit to assessment and rehabilitation or attend traffic safety school in addition to payment of a monetary penalty or in lieu of imprisonment.
