Only if the judges would enforce the fines. We have an ordinance here in Chesterfield County, VA that states you get a ticket and a fine if an officer can hear your stereo from your closed up vehicle 50 yds away. Unfortuneately the courts throw them all out on a technicality.
The ticketing officer must prove that they were at least 50 yds away, and at that distance, unless it is the only car on the road, the burden of proof that the right vehicle was ticketed is on the officer. I don't think that anyone here has had to pay the fine.
What is really needed is a way to effectively neutralize the noise from these things.
Unfortuneately the courts throw them all out on a technicality.It's time to start throwing judges out on a technicality: as being technically stupid.
But anyway, I see your point. If the courts refuse to enforce the laws, then communities respond by giving police extra-legal powers. It's a shame.
The real solution --- tar-and-feathering liberal judges and running them out of the country on a rail and dumping them over the border into Mexico --- is beyond the scope and power of our system of government. So we're stuck coming up with sad alternatives like this one.
I see the same problem around here. The cops will nail you for throwing a loud party but they drive right past bass-thumpers and the little Hondas with no mufflers without giving them a second look. Some dickhead judge must be throwing the cases out.
