Bu tthe police isn't allowed to say, "That muffler was just too loud;
I didn't like it."
The police must be able to defend their "judgements". If their
citastion is based on somethijng as vague as "too loud" with no
measurements to back it up, it will be dismissed in court.

No, it simply doesn't work like that.
