Text

prosecution, recovery, or acquittal no defense.
An action brought to recover a fine, enforce a penalty, or punish a violation of a city
ordinance must be brought in the corporate name of the city as plaintiff. A prosecution, recovery,
or acquittal for the violation of a city ordinance may not constitute a defense to any other
prosecution of the same individual for any other violation of the ordinance, notwithstanding that
the different claims for relief existed at the time of the previous prosecution and if united, would
not have exceeded the jurisdiction of the court.
