Proof that such seal was tampered with, removed or destroyed or that any machine so sealed was removed from the premises on which it was located at the time of sealing shall be prima facie evidence that such acts were done by such owner, licensee or person in charge of such premises.

(b)

Any seal, as provided in this division, shall only be removed by the city tax assessor and collector after a fee allowed by state law has been paid to cover the expense of sealing and the removal of the seal.
