Item 1

 
F.__Nothing in this subsection may be construed to limit the
liability of an operator of a motor vehicle for a failure to
pay an authority toll.__If a person who is liable for a
failure to pay under this subsection was not the operator of
the motor vehicle at the time of the failure to pay, that
person may maintain an action for indemnification against
the operator to recover all tolls and civil penalties under
this subsection paid by that person.

 
G.__If a registered owner does not satisfy a judgment under
this subsection within 30 days after final adjudication of
liability under paragraph C, in addition to any other method
for enforcing the judgment, upon petition by the authority,
the adjudicating court shall order the suspension of the
registration for the vehicle involved in the failure to pay
and forward the suspension to the Secretary of State.__The
Secretary of State shall proceed, in accordance with Title
29-A, section 154, subsection 6, to mail the required 10-day
notice and suspend the registration certificate and plates
issued for the vehicle in question.__A notice under this
paragraph is not effective with respect to a vehicle
described in paragraph E.

 
4.__Admissibility of photo-monitoring evidence. A photograph,
microphotograph, videotape or other recorded image produced by a
photo-monitoring device is admissible in a proceeding to collect
a toll or other charge of the authority, to collect civil
penalties imposed under subsection 3 or to impose civil or
criminal liability for a failure to pay the toll or charge.

 
A.__An original or facsimile of a certificate, sworn to or
affirmed by an agent of the authority that states that a
failure to pay has occurred and states that it is based upon
a personal inspection of a photograph, microphotograph,
videotape or other recorded image produced by a photo-
monitoring system, as defined in subsection 3, is prima
facie evidence of the facts contained in the certificate.

 
B.__Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a photograph,
microphotograph, videotape or other recorded image prepared for
enforcement of authority tolls is for the exclusive use of the
authority in the discharge of its duties under this section.__
This material is confidential and is not available to the public.__
The authority shall make this information available to a law
enforcement officer upon request.__Except as provided in this
subsection or as may be necessary to prove a claim for
indemnification under subsection 3, paragraph F or to prosecute a
criminal
