First RLC then Speed cameras now... (noise violation cameras)

 

Any Idea

Anyone have any idea of what the measuring distance and decibel threshold are for these things?

How about Calgary's ordinance decibel limit?
Just curious.

It's about the Line- If a line can be drawn between the powers granted and the rights retained, it would seem to be the same thing, whether the latter be secured by declaring that they shall not be abridged, or that the former shall not be extended.

Yeah, ...

we've had real good luck limiting bike noise here in Daytona Beach during Bike Week and Biktoberfest grin ... Not

Very interesting. I hate it

Very interesting. I hate it when the bikes / cars are way too loud.

Noise Snare

This has been a controversial issue in Calgary. Of course, Calgary has also imposed noise limits and time limits on outdoor concerts.

The original proposal was for these noise snares to be set up in residential areas. I think they would be useless on the Deerfoot (the north-south speedway through Calgary).

wow

This is one automated ticketing device I actually like.

Yes!

I concur with that and if it could be adapted to cite (with extremely large fines) car stereos that can be heard and felt 1/2 mile away then it will really make my day. -- my pet peeve!

Total agreement with all of the above, although in lieu of a fine I think they should chain them in front of the offending device until their hearing is shot. Though it likely is half-shot already.

Sound Competition

In our neighborhood, the ice cream trucks seem to be in a competition for the loudest and most annoying musical rhymes that can be heard in the house even with all doors and windows closed!

I can't remember...

What's the old saying ?

Something like..."The Louder the Pipes, the Smaller the pecker"

noise is invisible

unlike RLC and Speed camera, you can have a visual reference for the violation on the background of the picture. This will raise even more challenges to the citations than RLC and/or Speed Cameras.

I question the evidence in court, because of he/she says or cops say. The violating vehicle could correct the problem after violation notice received and before the court date. There are also ton of legal ways to change a sound's sound and/or noise pitch with very low cost.
