 13 (4) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, any
 14 municipality of this state, acting through its local legislative body,

 17 order to impose a penalty for violating this section, which may include,
 18 but not be limited to, the cost of towing the vehicle.
 19 (5) If the vehicle and its contents are determined to be of no safety
 20 threat, the vehicle shall be released subject to satisfaction of all
