Should our local governments have control over the noise we make?
Most cities have no way of accurately measuring noise levels at a party, your stereo or the exhaust system on your car. Its all done by rule of thumb and they leave the judgement up to officers to say if its too loud or not. That being said, Officer A and B may have 2 completely different opinions on what's loud, and that can be the difference between whether or not you get a ticket and/or a fine.
Should we have these laws?
If so, should they be different for weekends as opposed to week days? or Night and day? When should the laws be applied? Music? Parties? Cars? Motorcycles? Construction zones? Children outside early on weekend mornings when some neighbors are trying to sleep?
