New Florida law will allow officers to ticket drivers playing music too loudly

Whether you live in Florida or are visiting, you may need to turn down the music's volume in your car because it could cost you an expensive ticket.

A new Florida law that'll go into effect on July 1 will allow law enforcement officers to ticket drivers who are playing music from their car too loudly that it can be heard 25 feet from the vehicle.


"Living in the area where there's a lot of downtown activity there are cars that come through at 12 or 1 o'clock in the morning with their blaring music bumping through the neighborhood," resident Lamonte Gwynn said. "If [the law] is really to cut down on the noise then I think it would help in some respect."

Orange County Sheriff's Office shared the message, "Turn it down. Keep it down," with its social media followers on Thursday detailing the new rule.

I completely agree with that going through a neighborhood. On the city streets when it is not near housing and it's somebody's music then I agree with it. When it is my music though, I have a problem.
They always had the right to fine and even take your vehicle for excessive decible levels (bassy boom music), many states have noise ordinances, but they fail to enforce those laws.
In FL there are many old people with weak tickers that can't take the startle or heart beat flutter that the vibration can cause them, maybe one day accidental homicide will be charged some idiot who want's to "pump up his jam".
Seriously start going after the car sound suppliers who knowingly install amps exceeding noise ordinance laws.
People in Delaware keep complaining that there's this old guy in a sports car blaring Benny Goodman on his phonograph horn hanging out the window.

I hate it when I'm stopped at an intersection and the person in the car behind or next to me, has their bass up so high, it vibrates your car and self. Another group of drivers I would like to see ticketed are those that drive with their dog in their lap. It endangers the dog, is a distraction and could feasibly cause an accident.

Where I live there are zero traffic lights so I can play music load as I want.
 
And so, one day when he was four, he asked "Why do dark peoples always play music loud?"
Many people have asked that question.

Well, maybe some of them do that in order to show that they are now free and equal and can do anything that they like.

Maybe they also want to share with other people how wonderful the "music" is.

No matter what the reason is, no sane person would ever complain to their face!!!
 
That's because playing your Barbara Streisand loud with your windows up doesn't encroach the noise ordinance.
I don't listen to that has been Jewish gal, sorry. Now, if you want to rock my car is the place for LOUD rock music.
 
When our children were growing up, we never mentioned people of color. Never pointed out race. Ever. But our oldest was a smart kid who could figure things out on his own. And so, one day when he was four, he asked "Why do dark peoples always play music loud?" As sincere and innocent as the rain.
We have everyone doing it. Native, Hispanic, Black, white.
 
The Bronco that I ordered last October, and am still waiting for Ford to get around to building, will have the Lux Package, with includes the best sound system that Ford offers.

Perhaps if that sound system turns out to be up to it, I'll take to driving through neighborhoods at 02:00 in the morning, blasting some real music at absurd volume.

Not crap, but real music, chosen among those that would benefit from being played in a loud, grand manner.

Possible pieces…
  • The opening movement from Also sprach Zarathustra by Richard Strauss
  • Ride of the Valkyries by Richard Wagner
  • O Fortuna by Carl Orff
  • Fanfare for the Common Man by Aaron Copeland
  • The Triumphal March from Giuseppe Verdi's Aida
  • Rhapsody in Blue by George Gershwin
  • Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach

This would also be a good choice............



Possibly as you are speeding away!!!! :auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg::auiqs.jpg:

When my son first got his car and license, we drove down the street with the windows down while he blasted the Odd Couple theme song followed by Suicide is Painless. It was great.
 
I've seen these new Bronco's.
It's just an Escape with a box style body on it. Half the size of the originals.

There are actually two different vehicles that Ford sells under the Bronco name. There is the “‘Bronco’ Sport”, which, as you say, is just a glorified Escape, with the Bronco name, and some of the Bronco features grafted on to it.

The real Bronco, which is what I have on order, is a totally different vehicle than the Escape-based fake Bronco. And the real Bronco is about the size of the original, first-generation Bronco from the 1960s.
 
There seems to be a misconception that it is possible to compensate for “music” that is completely lacking in artistic value, by playing it at an unreasonable volume.

You never see/hear a car driving by, playing genuine music at high volume. It's always auditory garbage, such as crap or similar noise.
It's an intentional attack and harassment. People roll their windows down in their hundred dollar cars with 50 dollar amplifiers and 6000 dollar wheels and crank it up as loud as it will go.

I will say, though, that it's almost always white people I see doing it. White people playing anti-white rap at full volume. Now I am even starting to see white women, alone in their cars, playing anti-white rap at full volume.

Having grown up in the 60s in a mixed-race home and black neighborhood, I developed a great love for soul music, for loving black families that were friends and neighbors, etc. But today's thug culture is not good for the black communities and neither is rap. That it has spread to all corners is terrible. When the parents of murdered black parents and babies still go into full-thug mode at times, still listen to rap music, it just blows my mind. They enable and embrace the lifestyle that led to their dead babies. And finally, when white people choose the black thug culture for themselves, it proves that the plague is spreading.
