Got a sound violation ticket.

So you want to get out of something by disputing .1'? **** kids today just have no respect or responsibility.

how is that lack of respect or responsibility??

1. I can almost garuntee i'm much older than you, kid

2. it's called due process for a reason... the cop needs to do his job properly, or not at all... that's the whole point.

3. Your arguments make no sense, other than the typical "all of our laws are perfect, and we should just abide by them with no question" response.

4. I think you're forgetting that i'm prior law enforcement... and i had given out multiple noise ordinance violations... but they were all investigated properly, and written in accordance with that statute... anything less, and they shouldn't be written.

i've received two tickets - back in the 90's when they were only $75 a piece. i had no problem paying because i new i was in violation. if you get caught breaking a law, the only person to be mad at is yourself.

i still have the ticket. it was written as "illegal operation of a sound amplification system"

you sign in at the clerk, sit in the court, wait till they call your name, plead guilty, pay the fine, and leave.

it's a very minor charge, so you will most likely talk to the prosecutor first... plead your case to him... if he's in a good mood, he could lessen the ticket, or even drop it (well, he can make a suggestion to the judge, it's ultimately up to him)... if he is in a bad mood, he may not want to hear any of it. That is when i would contest it.

if you want to fight it - you have a lot of studying law and acoustics ahead of you. did you give a link to the noise ordinance you are allegedly in violation of? start by finding and reading the ordinance. not the pamphlet but the actual ordinance listed in the pamphlet.

or yea, you can just ask nicely. unlikely that will be successful since it is your word against the officers, and it appears the ordinance is if it is audible at 50 ft. you can have a conversation at 50 ft, so pretty much any stereo (even stock) can be in violation.

the ticket won't be a moving violation so it shouldn't affect your license. "any ticket" isn't a legal term - look up the actual law.

 

[Tek18 10+ year member]

hmmm... well the officer said " 168 " idk how he could know that number? its not on the ticket........ but err.. i wonder how much the court fee is

Who said i agree with bikes being loud? Your right ends when it infringes on my rights to peace.

Have you never yelled at someone, or blown your car horn.

Those can be heard over 50 feet away

You have infringed on my right to peace.

You are now a law breaker.
