It is. A law was passed in Florida last year as I recall that makes it illegal to play music (I use the term "music" loosely...) in your car so loud that it is discernable from I believe 25 feet away.
Some people were up in arms over the law, claiming that it could be used by police to initiate a stop when no other reason existed and thus could be used as an harassment technique.
