§ 94-181. Presumption.  


Latest version.
  • Prosecution for a violation of this division may be commenced against any person whose name or address appears on an article of litter discovered on private or public property in violation of this chapter. It shall be presumed that any article of litter so discovered is the property of the person whose name or address appears thereon, and that such person placed or caused to be placed such article of litter on the property upon which it is discovered. This presumption is based on the theory that all generators of litter are responsible for its proper disposal in compliance with this chapter.
