Police ticketing for loud exhausts

bullitt5897 · 08-18-2009, 07:54 AM

I know in Ga you don't get tickets for loud exhausts... you get tickets for racing or as the police officer told me Exhibition driving which is the same as racing. Ohh and i didnt use a blinker for an emergency lane change so I got wreckless driving and I got arrested.

Cops in my opinion are extremely shady in some areas! At the time of that ticket I had an 07 s2000 fully built with a single 80mm exhaust at 129 db

it sounded like a freaking le mans car going down the road ohhhhh God did I love bridges/tunnels with the top down! Anyway just to give you another example I got a ticket for window tint by a cop going the opposite direction at 55mph...

I know exactly what % my tint is 20% I saw the label on the box when it was installed!!! The cops machine said I had 14-15% talk about corruption! First, there was no way he could tell my tint was below the legal limit @ 55mph going the opposite direction. (legal limit is 32% BTW) Secondly they calibrate their machines low so even if you do have legal limit you are guilty in their eyes and have to go to court anyway.

The bad part about all this is that no matter if your guilty or not you as a citizen lose... Follow me on this. If your guilty you get a ticket and have to go to court. If your innocent you may still get a ticket and you have to go to court. However, If your innocent and you prove yourself to be and the state is at fault. You do not get any recourse against the state for wasting your time and making you lose money... now thats some serious BullSh*t!!!! I think if the government wrongfully makes you go through the system they should be fined the amount they were going to fine you... but this can be a double edge sword. One your guilty no matter what or two they become honest for once and stop being F'ng tax collectors...

I also had tons of complaints about my exhaust as it would set off car alarms going down the road and in the apartment complex.... It could not be avoided trust me

plus it became more of a game too! if you have had a loud exhaust you know exactly what I am talking about... How many alarms can you set off in a parking deck

hehehehehe

It depends on your level of empathy for others - if you're considerate of what time it is...

For example, I play drums semi-professionally. I practice on my own at my house when I'm up to it - and I don't play past 9PM. Noise ordinance only applies to amplified music...and it's a case of "if you're loud enough to cause a complaint, you're too loud" for my city.

Technically, since my drums are not amplified, I could play at 2AM with the windows open and be a real asshat. There's even been times (recording/testing), that I'd really like to...but, I don't.

Same with my bike. The exhaust is loud even at idle, but I make sure I don't run it any longer than I have to, and sure as hell don't rev it outside of 9AM - 9PM.

My complaints came from 7am in the morning when I left for work and 6-9pm when I come home. I coasted through the complex late at night. I wasnt a total jerk...

Doesn't really matter what time, when you are triggering alarms in a residential neighborhood you deserve a ticket.

Especially if you're coasting through and still setting them off.

Just a partial part time one??

bullitt5897 · 08-18-2009, 01:27 PM

It wasn't setting them off from coasting guys lol that would have been rediculous... It's not so much that the car is loud but the fact that the exhaust tone has a low frequency vibration that sets off shock sensors

DooDooBrown · 08-18-2009, 01:29 PM

Most places do have noise ordances, however, cops will usually only resort to pulling you over if it is overly loud and disturbing, or will use it as a way to initate the stop (usually if they think it will lead to a drug bust, etc...)

bullitt5897 · 08-18-2009, 02:21 PM

After the whole incident with my arrest I came to find out the cop was a special task force for gang and drug busts... I stood no chance he arrested me on the spot and I wasnt told why I was arrested till after I was booked in jail... that s*t was f'd up. I got everything dropped but I still had to go through all the pains and lawyer fees to fix the problem. Nothing against individual cops but I hate the bastards here in GA we dont play well with each other.

bullitt5897 · 08-18-2009, 05:00 PM

I live 10 minutes from work and I leave at 7am and return home depending on the day at 6pm or as late as 9pm. I think that hardly counts as part time lol I get there before my employees and I dont leave till they are all gone. Dang programmers will work all night if they could...

Semtex, who pissed in your wheaties?

No one. I just get a little worked up when I read about police harassment. Or at least what I subjectively perceive to be harassment.
