Guys, They Just Declared War On Your Right To Own A Car Stereo!

[Kickerkitty 10+ year member]

Guys, here is the link, it speaks for itself. They are trying to take away your right to even OWN car stereo equipment, all the mayor has to do is approve it, and it's already been overwhelmingly approved by the board. When one city ratifies it, the others have a precedent to follow, we CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN!

Look at what this includes:

The bill would prohibit operating car stereo equipment that creates "louder volume than is necessary for convenient, normal hearing," which is the same language as the city's current anti-noise ordinance.

The new measure would outlaw possessing or installing any car stereo with a speaker over a foot in diameter; having more than one speaker 10 inches in diameter; more than 10 speakers overall; more than two amplifiers; and any amplifier over 300 watts.

In addition to impounding the car, possible penalties include a minimum of $250 fine on the first offense and $500 on subsequent offenses within a year.

I hope we can stop this before your car's freedom of speech is gone, because once your car is silenced, you're next. Does anyone know any lawyers? I'm serious!

Actually, I'm FROM that website, I'm making sure you guys know what's up, because when one city goes, the legal precedent makes it easy to spread to others.

its just like anything else in the world....whether its planes flying over your house, trains going by, harleys/choppers with INCREDIBLY loud exhaust, or Mudder trucks with their exhaust. Its a lame attempt to control a specific group of noisemakers. You will always be able to proof that dump trucks and the like are violating the noise ordinances daily.
