Let’s play “ABBA” at 10,000 decibels.

the reason it was shot down was due to the way the law was written. the law separated commercial and political reasons from it. if they have a better reasoningg for the law like the ones provided in these comments, i believe the law would stick.

I live about 120 YARDS from the road in a new brick home.

I should not be awakened in the might by some idiot’s music or loud exhaust as they are going by.

Perhaps the judges(?) don’t mind that but I certainly do.

In any event, the 25 foot car noise law may have been struck down, but there is still a regular disturbing the peace law in place. USE IT!

I enjoy the sound of uncapped exhaust hedders on a well tuned motor, but I cannot abide with that BOOM BOOM BOOM.

If those flowers of intellegence wish to encapsulate themselves, in an enviroment, saturated with high decible levels of low frequency racket, then let them have at it.

Oh yeah since you have to pay for their hearing diability.

My portable boat air horn blasting at their ears should not be a problem?

Also nice to have a stoggie with a cherry red fire for placement on their back seat when they leave it blasting in the tomb thumb parking lot.

Now that makes me feel good.

I have two complaints with this ruling. 1. Safety hazard! If you can be heard loud and clear at 25 feet, you most likely can not hear the sirens of police and ambulance. Don’t we have enough accidents around here already? 2. Drivers vibrating my house with their base at 11:30 pm when most of the neighborhood is asleep! We do have school and work the next morning. I don’t have to have my music loud enough for all the world to hear inorder to enjoy my music. If you do, you have probably distroyed your eardrums from all the loud music you have been listening too.

They can play what they like as long as I don’t have to hear it or listen to it. That’s a violation of my civil rights that allow me to live in a society free of tyranny! It’s tyranny if you can’t get away from it and they don’t have the common courtesy to keep it at a volume that we can tolerate. No common sense in the interpretation of the law these days…..

If only 4 justices were in favor that’s not unanimous.
It does show that they have never had to suffer through a red light with some of the crap that is being played today.

The judges got it wrong. If I have to sit at a light, obeying traffic laws and someone is blasting obscenity laced “music” at a volume that I can’t avoid, and I can’t get away from it without committing a traffic offense, then that is assault.
