I don't know if its that high in other places but I was always told they were c*ck suckers around here about sound systems but holy f@ck that's about half of what I'm paying for my whole set up. I don't know that just blew my mind I couldn't believe that sh!t!!!! |

They'll impound the car if you give them lip too. And their definition of excessive noise pollution is subject to much interpretation. Unless they meter you from a specified distance and document it it's pretty much just an opinion. How much more irritating do you think your bass is compared to those who drill their bike's exhaust? I mean those bikes make children cry if they pull up next to you. They giggle as they pull off. Won't see a noise ordinance ticket given to any of them. |

I bs you not one of my sergeants was just listening to his music no system and he got a ticket it wasn't that much because it was couple years back but no joke true story! Really I hear all sorts of crazy stories like that on your 2nd or 3rd offense they actually take your box and subs, the police just don't like soldiers around here but whatever. |

One friend in Dallas only got a ticket.. he took it to court and won. His theory was how the sound is omnidirectional so how could the officer pick out a single car out of traffic and ranted about dB meters and how the officer did not have one or proof of excess sound. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 6464 Registered: Jan-06 | here it is if they can here it 25 ft away its illegal. its like a 250 ticket i think. i dont think there is anything here for exhaust. hell you can here my truck over 300ft hell probably more along with everyone elses and no problems with the cops. |

Bronze Member Username: Mpinto19kDallas/Fort Hood, Tx Post Number: 43 Registered: Feb-09 | Yeah I'm from Dallas and none of my friends have had problems there, but I'm telling you Killeen is no joke there just d!ck heads around here they just don't like soldiers, and the city is a piece of sh!t, it really is bullsh!it. And luckily Mark my unit is moving to Colorado Springs, CO (Fort Carson) so I'm not worried about it. |
