In any prosecution charging violation of this section, proof that the vehicle described in the complaint was parked in violation of the section, together with proof that the defendant named in the complaint was, at the time of the parking, the registered owner of the vehicle, shall constitute in evidence a prima facie presumption that the registered owner was the person who parked the vehicle at the point where, and for the time during which, the violation occurred.
