instruction regarding parking information.
(b) Intersession regulations will be
determined and published by the assistant director of the student business
office and parking services as required.
(c) Enforcement measures are cumulative;
using one or more enforcement measures will not prohibit the use of additional
measures.

violating these regulations.

Without a valid permit;

(4) Impoundment by towing or wheel lock:
(a) All violators are subject to having their
vehicles impounded through the use of towing or the wheel lock device at their
own risk and expense.

(vii) When a
university police officer has probable cause to believe the vehicle is stolen;

officer has probable cause to believe that the vehicle contains or constitutes
evidence of a crime, and in the police officer's judgment impoundment is
necessary to obtain or preserve such evidence;

deprived of the right to leave with the driver's vehicle, and the university
police are responsible for the "safekeeping" of the vehicle; or
(x) Is parked at any time on campus when
parking privileges have been revoked.
(c) Any vehicle may be immobilized by use of
a wheel lock device if the vehicle:

hours); or

privileges revoked.
