Re: Late Evening Loud Music
These kinds of laws are impossible to enforce. Think about it. Noise travels farther when it is windy, so is it more of a violation if the wind is blowing? Who is going to be steading anywhere nearby with a decibel meter anytime any noise is produced.
If a car goes by with the windows down, blasting music, and there is not a cop right there with a decibel meter, they can't be charged.
If a citizen files a complaint, the court will say, "how loud was the music. The complaintant will say....."ah.....loud."
If a person wants to really get serious about how foolish these kinds of laws are, think about the disabilities act. If a person is hard of hearing can he claim his music was loud so he could hear it?
Further, is it a violation only if it is rap or hip hop music from a car. How about classical music or talk.
Are high school bands exempt? They are pretty loud.
Law makers pass these laws to pacify the voters, then they are impossible to enforce.
