Noisy Vehicle Law

Skip Elliott Bowman 8 March 2005 23:08:41
 You'll be happy to know that an Oregon state legislator, Mitch Greenlick
(D-Portland) introduced a bill that would make the production of
unnecessarily loud noise on a vehicle an offense, punishable by a fine of up
to $720.

If you're interested, it's House Bill 2822.

Are there really no other laws in place that could curtail loud vehicles?

I'm sure there are... just no other laws to put an extra $720 in
government coffers.

I would love to see this happen, but then, I don't think this law is really
that enforcable.

Uh-huh. Except that laws which contain terms like "unnecessarily loud" or
"unnecessarily bright" or "unnecessarily glaring" are unenforceable,
'cause there's no objective standard of what constitutes "unnecessary".

That's just a logistics problem--when and if it passes out of committee, all
they'll need to do is set a decibel level threshold. Thurston County in
Washington State did this in the 1980s and enforced it assiduously.

We've already decided what's unnecessary here on the board :)­

Well, there's already standards, or at least guidelines for
"unnecessarily glaring..."

Oh, right. I'll shut up now.

What's the fine for a neighbor's loud barking dog in Oregon? That's
much more annoying than the temporary noise of a loud vehicle driving
by. If the fine for vehicles is $720, I'd make the fine for barking
dogs $720 per day (or per bark).

Interesting. Truckers may get into trouble with this one if it is equally
and fairly enforced. Also, hopefully those rude people who think it's fun to
honk the horn every time they lock their car will get plenty of fines. Or
heck, maybe the liberals will grow a brain and perhaps decide it would be
best to grow up about this stuff and maybe... just maybe, like in a country
where we have some freedoms left. I doubt that'll ever happen though.

About $0 for the first ticket with a warning; $60 for the next; about $200
for the next and possible jail after that.

Right, "disturbing the peace".

Are you sure? Most jurists seem to think grey areas are unconstitutionally
vague, viz. Montana.

You can also see how this could be abused. A cop walks up to you and wants
to know who you are and where you are going. His excuse will be that he
saw you walk out of the car that just made some unecessary noise.

Huh?
He's saying that "unnecessarily" is too vague (subjective) to be used
in a law.

As you can see, I clarified my answer in the same post. Nevertheless,
thanks Bill.

Huh?

The problem of setting a "necessity" standard is not a logistical one.
--when and if it passes out of committee, all>>>they'll need to do is set a decibel level threshold.>>
Which has nothing to do with necessity.>
Neither of your responses made a lick of sense, Matthew. I take it at least >you don't live next to a property that uses gas-powered leaf blowers at 7 >am?

A law setting a decibel level threshold for noise is not one which
restricts "unnecessary" noise; there's no necessity test in such a
threshold.
