Rediculous Laws, DB meters in Police cars???

[revrider1 5,000+ posts]

That's sorry as sh*t.Don't they have better things to do like go find gang killers and such?

Just one more way of the cops/local gov trying to make easy money when they don't have to do anything. Like the red light cameras. Pure $$$ + pure lazy.

Let's say I'm a cop....do I want to risk getting shot by pulling over the gangsta looking bumpin ride or the poor white boy just out for fun in his truck with his gf on Friday night.

Nope, I'll pull over the homeboy in the truck with the system. Easy ticket to write and he'll probably pay it too and I'm off to Duncan Donuts.

If I got a ticket like that I'd have to fight it.

Ok..I'm in court now asking the officer questions under oath.

1. how often is the dB meter calibrated? each shift? how do you calibrate it-written procedure? what is your standard reference for calibration?

2. what frequency's does it cover? Is there a filter for filtering out road noise/passing cars, etc?

3. what constitutes a violation? Playing my music 15, 30, 60 seconds over the dB limit? 5 minutes?

4. what is the dB limit? How would I know that? what D.P.S. TX drivers handbook is that law posted in? Is it on TV or newspaper? Maybe I don't read or watch TV.

5. What time did I start to break the law? How many minutes did it last? How did you time me? A certified chronometer? Cheap plastic watch? When was it calibrated last? How accurate is it.

Boy I'll have to crank-it-up next time I'm down in CC!

In Nashville, if they can hear you from more than 30' away, it's a ticket. No dB meter required.

However, I think that is unfair as it targets music with more bass, as the sound ways travel further...(I think)

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/word.gif.64b12e39f936af3b4fff38a1c0bd0244.gif then ask if you meter well on thier RTA in the car if you can be let off with a warning //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/graduate.gif.d982460be9f153bb54e5d4cb744f6ae8.gif

well, in the cops' defense, if you do have a SQ system and your setup isnt flat on an RTA measurement, you SHOULD get a ticket then

Where I live they have had DB meters in patrol cars for about 10 years now. Anything over 120 db and they write a ticket.

That makes me wanna get pulled over, be an expensive way to figure out how loud you are though lol.

Here they don't even meter you. If they can hear you from 30 feet away they automatically write you a 200$+ ticket. Regardless of 120db or not.

ive already got a ticket from the dam red light cameras, was going 50 miles an hour and they want you to slam on the fckin brakes, i had 400 lbs of groceries in the back and im supposed to be able to stop in 3 seconds? fcked up if you ask me. And if you think this is bad, just think about what the next 10-20 years has in for us, there will be cameras on every streetcorner, parking lot, walk-way, etc, in other words, we will always be watched.
And it will all be done for our "safety."

I hope you didn't pay that ticket.

They CANNOT issues you an arrest warrant for a red light ticket.

IT does not go against your driving record. Only your stupid credit record if you don't pay.

Plus there is a big time bail bondsman in H. suing the city right now over the legality of the cameras.

Go get the license plate clear spray on eBay and the plastic license plate clear cover that masks the flash-reflects off no image.

How do they know if you have it on there or not?

If you put several coats of the clear spray they cannot tell it's there and works as good as the clear cover.

Hell no i didnt pay it. They didnt even send it to the correct address, they sent it to my dad, who i havent lived with for over 3 years now. But he called me and i did receive it, but fck them, they aint gettin my money. And when i called, they said it didnt turn into a warrant, and also that it would NOT go against my credit. Iasked what the point in paying was then and she never gave me an answer. lol.

Front license plate is off.

Check eBay.

Look around for the best price and then contact the eBay seller operatic98. Tell him the best price you got and hopefully he can match it.

Do a search by seller. He's in Houston. He doesn't list the spray on his eBay ad but he told me he has it. I met him in person to pick up a couple of HID bulbs for a friend.

He's cool.
