It's not the strictness that bothers me as much as the vagueness and predisposition to ticket car stereos. I can roll through an industrial area with all kinds of noise with my stereo up and get a ticket, but the officer would have to yell over the outside ambient noise to tell me.
But I'm not sure what people expect though when they come on here and ask "how do I get heard 4 blocks away?", "I wantz da groundpoundz". Duh it's going to get attention and make people mad.
It's like everything else a little common sense and common courtesy would go a long way, but as the op so clearly showed in his first thread both are severely lacking in todays society.
