Less hostile when in context.

    Cars are already subject to noise restrictions. So effectively loud cars are banned. There is just little enforcement for most of it.

            That may work to a point, people who get off on their noisy shits are more than willing to put in the work themselves.

              Yep, 99% of the time that’s the case around here. Live next to a well trafficked road and have heard enough to identify a modded exhaust. It’s very rare that the loud assholes have stock exhausts, they usually put money into buying loud shit or just slice their old one off for good measure.

              Also, even the modded exhausts wouldn’t be so bad if the drivers didn’t intentionally gun it just to make noise.

              Then come the motorcycle groups, they’re the absolute worst. Even one is bad, but when a group of 50 travel through here on a quiet day it’s just… sad, enraging etc.

              They’re the loudest we get around where I live, if ANYONE is breaking a noise ordinance it’s them, 50× over but I’ve never seen them pulled over or ticketed.

              I don’t care if they’re loud, go do that on a “back road” where the houses are an acre away, don’t do it on a small street where babies are sleeping barely 20 feet away from you. At that volume, being that close they’d might as well knock on your door and scream in your face.

                That’s not what homie is getting at.

                Irritatingly loud cars don’t come from the manufacturer like that. When you buy a car there’s no “annoyingly loud” option.

                People modify their cars. The objective is better performance, but the car will probably be louder.

      Let’s refocus the police funds of shooting or falsely arresting POC, and instead ticketing and enforcing the loud car situation.

        Who needs cops? I believe CA passed a bill to trial automatic enforcement of this issue last year. Detects excessive noise and photographs the license plates just like speed cameras.

        I’m waiting to see where they will trial it. I haven’t heard anything recently.

          Agreed. Take 90+% of their funding, and use it for preventative measures instead.

                This article says the opposite though.

                Therefore, federal courts have affirmed the right of municipalities to use speeding and red light cameras. Additionally, lawsuits challenging the use of private companies to operate red light cameras have been dismissed or defeated.

                I am not a lawyer and I have wondered about the constitutional questions of these. But according to this the courts have largely allowed them.
