Interesting development along the lines of “red light cameras”, etc.
> The system, based on technology developed for the Australian Navy, uses cameras, sound-level meters and other equipment to monitor noise coming from nearby cars. If your stereo is turned up too loud, or your exhaust is a bit too noisy, the system will snap a pic of your plate and automatically send you a ticket.

GOOD. There’s this terrible Ford Taurus wagon that drives by every 15 minutes and it wakes me up in the middle of the night.

Yes but modifying my car is using my first amendant rights!
Freedom of speech & expression.
violating noise ordinances i can see obeying.
\<\<\<=== cant stand harleys that blast past my house at 4:AM with strait pipes.
too bad the cameras prolly wont be good enough to pick out bike plates.

Get bike-sized plates for your car.

All I have to say is if one group gets a ticket for loud exhaust, then everybody should, including the Harleys. It is BS if it is not uniformly enforced.

This could easily apply to the bitch on the 190 about 2 weeks ago that nearly drove over my front fender as she swerved aimlessly into my lane without looking.
And I was in a car…
So why the fuck should my CAR be quiet then? Not like people look to even see a car around.
