Music at the volume you are speaking of violates noise ordinances and poses a safety hazard. Also, not everyone wants to hear your music.
I support police when they pull over and cite drivers for excessively loud music.
When your music is so loud that the car is vibrating, how are you supposed to hear a horn...or a siren...or a train whistle...or anything at all?? That is the safety hazard. The music is also too loud for other drivers to hear those warning sounds.
So...if you have been ticketed, your bass IS too loud...it's WAY too loud. If I can hear you coming from a mile away, it is FAR FAR too loud. Turn it down.
Also...you never thought about your future hearing, did you? You don't have any idea the damage you are doing to your ears, do you? Do you want to be mostly deaf by the time you are 40 and needing hearing aids just to communicate?

Just pay your fines and finish listening to your music, because in 20 years, you're gonna be deaf. |

You know what I hate? Loud music that I don't want to hear. Why do you think the world needs to listen to your particular play list?
I write people tickets for that all the time. I don't care if you want to hear a particular song but it doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it.
How about I have some smoker come and blow smoke in your face? Its the same principal. |

If there is a noise ordinance, yes, you should be ticketed. For every person who enjoys their stereos at earsplitting volumes it seems like there are 2 people who call and complain. Turn down your stereo, insulate your car better, or go out away from town to listen to your car stereo. |

You can love your music. Just don't make everyone within 100 yards listen to it too. |

It's a safety thing. How would you be able to hear a horn, or a siren if your stereo is blasting away?
I'll be honest with you- I have seen this happen alot around here, and it puzzles me why people play it so loud. The car actually vibrates! We can hear them coming a mile away, literally a mile away. I find it disturbing. I don't want to hear that garbage they blast. The way I have it figured, deafness is in their future. |

You seem to be confused here. If you got a ticket, you broke the law. Yes there is no comparison to felony crimes. However, your right to have loud music ends just where my right to peace and quite begins. If it is against the law, pay the fine and turn down your music. |

As a police officer, we don't pick and choose which laws to enforce. We enforce them all. You may like your music, but someone else may not. If your music rises to the level of annoying the general public, then you should be ticketed. I have been inside my own home at night and felt the ground shake on a passing vehicle because their music (bass) is too loud. I'm certain you would not want to listen to my choice of music, don't force yours on me. |

Sometimes when you drive around with the bass turned all the way up, you knock things off the walls in houses. If you think you should be allowed to do this, perhaps you should speak with some homeowners that have experienced this phenomenon. In my opinion, you stereo doesn't need to be so loud that I can hear it (or feel it as the case may be) outside of your car.

Do you get a sense that no one likes your loud music?
Do you get a sense that perhaps your rights end when others begin?
Do you get a sense why laws against loud music were made?
Do you get a sense that perhaps you are in the wrong here?
Do you get a sense that we are glad you keep getting tickets?
Do you get a sense that you should get some sense? |

you're not a music lover , you love attention and hearing bass . If you actually got a ticket odds are you have 2 wal-mart 12's with a road gear amp with factory hi's . My point being if you were a music lover you would go toward a quality system that doesn't need to be that loud to piss people off |

Maybe I don't want to hear whatever type of music it is you like. Let alone my window vibrating like it is about to shatter. Feel lucky in Chicago your car can be impounded. |

It's about time. These hoodies who drive around with their booming stereos forcing everybody else to listen to their "music" have the exact same mentality as somebody who farts in a crowded elevator because he thinks it smells good. In some towns, the cops will even impound your car and rip out all your tricked-out speakers and stereo equipment in order to present them in court in front of the judge. I'd like to see more of that. |

Hope you didn't come here for sympathy, because you sure didn't find it, did you?
I'll repeat it again: the police do not fine anybody, at any time, in any place (at least in the US). The courts do, based on laws the legislature passes.
And it's interesting: I have never passed up a criminal, murderer, or rapist who was stupid enough to do what they do right in front of me. Don't blast your music in front of the po-po, and I bet you won't get tickets for it. |

cops don't impose fines. Courts impose fines. Cops and courts are called upon to enforce noise ordinances in many communities because there are large number of people who believe that their love for music means more than anything and the fact that they are annoying others means nothing. Such people are sometimes diagnosed as having sociopathic tendencies. In any event because they cannot regulate their own conduct out of respect for others, communities have to pass laws and allow for criminal enforcement of basic politeness. |

Why should I have to listen to the crap coming out of your car?
How would you like it if I went in front of your house, while you were trying to sleep and blast country and western or opera music?
While you may not be a criminal, you were being a public nuisance, and the cops are duty bound to keep the peace |

I would put in my two cents, but it looks like EVERYONE before me already typed out well thought and correct posts. I'm with them. |

Yes, Plus You or anyone else around you would not be able to hear an emergency vehicle because of the NOISE coming from your car. |

Yes it is.
If you want to blow out your eardrums, lock yourself in a sound-proof room and blast your music until your ears bleed.
That's your right.
I have the right to NOT have my hearing destroyed (or my house destroyed by the vibrations) of morons who drive around with their music blasting at lethal levels.
If you're tired of getting the ticked, turn the frickin music DOWN.
It's not rocket science. |
