In enforcing the penalty prescribed for violation of all laws and ordinances in regard to parking of vehicles, it shall not be necessary to name any person in a traffic ticket issued for such violation. A traffic ticket attached to the unlawfully parked vehicle shall be sufficient to require the appearance of the operator unlawfully parking such vehicle in the municipal court at the time stated in such traffic ticket. In cases where the name of the operator of an unlawfully parked vehicle is unknown, the owner of record of the unlawfully parked vehicle shall, as a matter of law, be presumed to be the operator of such vehicle and may be charged with such violation. No arrest shall be made for failure of the operator or owner to appear in response to said traffic ticket, except on affidavit and issuance of an arrest warrant. Except in cases where an arrest warrant is issued, it shall not be necessary to enter such cases on the municipal court docket nor to enter final judgment thereon in the minute book of said court. Except as otherwise provided in Section 27-19-56, Mississippi Code of 1972, in enforcing the penalty prescribed for violation of all laws and ordinances in regard to parking of vehicles, no person's driver's license shall be suspended or revoked.
