4-3-8: PENALTY:

Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall be guilty of an infraction, subject to penalty as provided in section 1-4-2 of this Code, excluding court costs and fees. An infraction is a civil public offense, not constituting a crime, which is punishable only by a penalty not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100.00) and for which no period of incarceration may be imposed. There is no right to a trial by jury of a citation or complaint for an infraction and such trials shall be held before the court without a jury. A second and any subsequent conviction for a violation of the provisions of this chapter within five (5) years shall be a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to penalty as provided in section 1-4-1 of this Code. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue and each and every violation of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a separate offense. (1952 Code § 8-05-13; amd. 2019 Code)
