That's why the police have phone numbers, you know. Most people who are inconsiderate that way tend to leave it up for a while. If you call, they will come check it out.

People drive by my house all the time blasting their music from their boom boxes, (I think they are called). It is so annoying. I was walking my dog one night and I passed a house. They had their car parked in the driveway, blasting the music. About 3 seconds later I saw a cop drive up and he made them turn it down. I was glad to see it, and I hope they got ticketed.

Lol, silverfox. That message made me chuckle. I don't think he can ticket them though. I don't think that they can do much about people using their radios.

Oh. (LOL!)

Well then, I hope the cop gave them a good talking to! (LOL!) If I was a cop I would of dragged them in for disturbing the peace! (Can they do that?)

Actually, it depends on the area. Some towns have what is called a noise ordinance. Here the ticket for that is about $150 when it is all said and done. There is a town about 30 miles away that has a REALLY high fee at $500, and I promise you that is the quietest town ever.
