loud noise ticket

[mustang372004]

Ok so I'm cruising down this main road that everybody street races on and has there music blairing, anyway I'm cruising with 3 other friends and he pulls me over out of all of us, he comes up to my window and is like why did u have your music so loud. I said alot of people have there music loud on this street. I said u didn't here all of my friends music, he said don't get smart with me, I was like OK, he said we have a city ordinance if we here music coming from your car from 50 feet away u get a citation. So in my mind I'm like WTF, u have nothing better to do than give me a loud noise citation when there are people street racing on the same road. On the ticket it said "boom box" which I think meant my sub box, which I didn't even have my subs on but I wasn't about to argue with him cause it wouldn't have done anything. I mean by no means do I have a loud system compared to most of the people in my town, there's a guy in my town that has like 6 15's in his truck. All that I had on were my 4 6x8's there powered by a 220w amp he heard that from 50 feet away yeah right. My friend behind me said he couldn't even hear my music. Anyway my friend told me the same cop gave him a ticket for the same thing and he said its gonna be like $180 ticket and I don't have a $180 dollars any suggestions on ways to get money. Sorry for the long thread.

Get money?
Rob a bank and then make your getaway in your car with your music playing real loud.

That blows. Look over the ticket very carefully. If something is mispelled or written down wrong in any way call a lawyer and the shit will get thrown out.

Damn that sucks, man. And I thought cops in my area were pricks. Some kids at my school have systems that you can here from the front door of my school, which is about 100 some odd feet from where the cars are parked. Just to be safe, though, I always turn down my music when I see a cop.

[mustang372004]

I would have turned my music down but I didn't see the cop until he flashed his lights at me

You're lucky that you don't live in WA State. The fines up were I used to live near Seattle are up to $1250 for having your stereo up too loud. It's a bit nerve wrecking especially since I used to own a convertible.

I always found it amusing that there's no law against Harley's rattling your windows when they're next to you on the freeway (which you can hear from a mile away) but at 50 feet, your stereo is making too much noise.

Sell your system to pay your fine. Problem solved permanantly.

Then you shouldn't have any problem working your ass off to pay your fine.
