LOUD CARS GO TO JAIL

[98SVT - was 06GT]

I remember seeing those signs as we drove across Route 66 in the 50s and 60s.
Now CA is going to start mailing you a ticket.

If the bill is passed, six California cities will participate in a trial program beginning January 1, 2023 and running until December 31, 2027. The cities would receive what's described as a "sound-activated device" that, according to the bill, will activate "when the noise levels have exceeded the legal sound limit and is designed to obtain a clear photograph of a vehicle license plate." Thankfully, as Autoweek points out, cities will be required to put up signs notifying motorists before they enter a camera enforcement zone. The first offense gets a warning, with repeat violators receiving a fine.

The whole bill is actually written to be rather flexible toward motorists. Cities must devise a payment plan for those who cant afford to pay the fines, with deferment options and waivers available as well. And the money generated from these noise violation tickets is intended to go toward "traffic calming measures," like bike lanes, raised crosswalks, roundabouts, or speed humps, all of which could serve to reduce vehicle noise in neighborhoods even further.

I think I'll rent a Tesla and toss in a couple giant speakers playing top fuel sounds then point out how quiet an electric car is when I get to court.

Loud cars go to jail but it's ok to have people rob stores, but wait it's under 1,000 they are set free? Plus the homeless situation ? And much more.

Hey I'm retired with too much time on my hands.

Kommifornia is broke. Instead of enforcing criminals, it now has to fine motorists on this BS 'noise' violation from cars. It will be tossed out by the courts. Remember those traffic cameras? Tickets can not be issued with out an officer to witness the violation(s). The 'loophole' is: "I was not driving", "An airplane flew over head", and or a "motorcycle drove next to me". Too much reasonable doubt to enforce it.
