Florida enacts law to restrict loud music in cars

[ZYBORG]

Sounds good to me!

Personally I don’t have a problem with this and in collier county I think it will be enforced. The sheriffs don’t **** around.
I understand it takes some of your “freedom” away but I don’t want to listen to democratic music at the stop lights when I’m trying to relax. That shit is plain awful.

Especially on places like 5th Ave where all the idiots blast music and haul ass up and down the street for an hour while you’re trying to eat.

Like others have said, laws like this have existed on the local level in Fla the last 20-30years. I'm guessing it's "new" because it's a state law now?

As I recall, it was ruled unconstitutional at one point so Leo’s couldn’t enforce it.

I don’t know how many times a car playing loud music stops at a light next to me and it sounds like the car is going to vibrate apart.
I love the sound of distortion in the morning.

They should of put a decibel level into this law.

As it is now its too open ended

It’s already being challenged because not everyone hears the same

Correct

I agree with this law except for the 25 foot part. Make it 50 feet. Why should I have to listen to your music of choice? If your ears are bleeding from how loud the music is, is it really better?

Get off my damn lawn!!!

In CA we have a 50 foot VC. It’s largely unenforced until you’re “that” guy.
Not turning it down around cops or becoming a be usable to everyone else.

It’s just an excuse to pull people over.

They did it during the 80’s at the height of the crack epidemic. Dealers would hang their car phone receivers over their rear view mirrors so they came up with an “obstruction of view” law to hassle them.

I’m not understanding this because I received a ticket for this about 20 years ago when I was young and driving on Daytona beach. I grew up there and it was very common place to get a loud music ticket for the people with loud systems. I don’t get why this is new. Not against it either, I think it’s definitely needed, but doesn’t seem new to me.

Right.

They had to suspend that because of the wording, so they tweaked it and are trying again

Ah, makes sense. I agree with it to a certain extent. I can hear some of these guys stereo in my office when they go by.

Nothing like enjoying a relaxing day on the beach and then some idiot rides up on full dresser Harley with a 3500 watt stereo blast king away...sitting at the light in beach traffic

Blipping the throttle every 2sec and then when the light turns green slipping the clutch the entire time on take off at at least 5k rpm

i had buddies get tickets in the 90's for having loud systems or exhaust (or lack of exhaust) so this type of law has been around for years.
i have had a system in about every car i have owned since i was able to drive so don't take this as i am against it. At some point it could be a safety issue as in a ambulance/fire truck/cops coming down the street and you are unable to hear the sirens and get out of the way (just a thought don't beat me up to bad lol).

& what would the db level have to be @ 25 ft., to be considered loud ?
.

.

 

[shurur]

A certain Decibel level as measure by a db meter at a certain distance would be a law.
This is just subjective bullshit.

 

[72MachOne99GT]

Driving down the highway/interstate, fine.


Cruising through town/residential areas, whatever, be a douche.


Pumping gas or going into to buy something with radio absolutely maxxed… get ****ed, eat a ticket.

 

[tistan]

Have you ever been to a gas station in the south? There is one demographic this law is aimed at and needed for.

 

[roy_1031]

he's one step ahead, the whistle tip is exhaust, not music
