Noisy Vehicle Law
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. |

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

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

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. |

I bet if I were to fit a firetruck's air horn to my car and pull up to your driveway and hit it at 6am, you'd have a pretty good idea if it was "unnecessarily loud." There a gray area where you can't draw the line, but it's simple to detect when on the other side of the gray area. |
