Can a cop pull you over for your stereo being too loud?

this guy i used to work with got pulled over once for being too loud, although he had no subs! he tells me that the cop pulled him over and asked what kind of speakers he had (MB Quarts w/ Eclipse amp) the cop then told him that he seldom pulls people over for too much treble and to turn it down, and then let him go on his merry way.

I think that's a really rude and foolish thing to do. If I do drive with my music above normal listening levels, I turn it down at a stop sign or when I come to a red light. I turn it down when I come into a resedential area, no matter the time of day. There are ways to be nice about this sort of things, just think about it.
If you have the stuff, just be responsible.

amen to that... I've put good money into my system and not only on subs, which i love to listen to, sometimes loud, but i'm considerate about it. When i come up to a light, stop sign, and especially neighborhoods, i turn it down, i can understand that people don't have to hear my music if they don't want to

If your music is loud enough to travel through your closed window through my closed window on a busy intersection at a stoplight, then it is too loud.
When will dumbasses understand loud bass != impressive. It just means you are fvcking retard that works at mickyDs that spends your whole months of pay on your subwoofer that barely fits your pos civic hatchback.

Not all people crank up the bass to "impress" others. :roll:

Ah, so that part where your driving arm is at the 12 position and you're looking around at everyone while driving down the street in the 'Bump Mobile' is just because you're looking at the environment and simulating the sounds of the wild.

What are you, stupid?

I guess that means you don't drive at the 12 and stare around at everyone while cranking your music then, eh?

I like it when people complain about people's stereos being too loud, but for some reason they don't mind those FVCKING HARLEY DAVIDSONS riding by! Those things should be outlawed! And let me tell you, those things are WAY louder than the typical stereos people complain about.

:thumbsup:

yes, and the reason is not only is it annoying to others.
its a safety issue, you cannot hear if an ambulance or train is approaching you.

but i do agree, if they are going to pull someone over for loud music
they also need to pull over people with glasspacks on their trucks or excessively loud engine noise.
thats far more annoying than hearing a low frequency rumble.

> 50dB at 50 ft. = $500 fine

there are some comments in here i dont feel like responding too. and i dont see a few others in this thread that i know have/had systems.

but yes, it is calle disturbing the peace. in my town, and the town next to me, there is no such law however, so the cop cant pull u over.

There was this annoying guy who used to sit in the parking lot outside my apartment complex playing his stereo loud enough to rattle things on my desk. People (not me) complained about him on my college's student message board, and surprisingly enough he read the complaints and stopped doing it. This has got to be the only time in the history of the universe complaining on the internet actually accomplished anything.

I suspect a lot of people just don't think they are bothering anyone, not that they have some malicious reason for doing it. Never assume someone is a jerk when ignorance will explain their behavior Of course what I can't understand is how you think *I* want to listen to *YOUR* music at extremely high volume. It's like the guys with the boomboxes at the beach back in the day.

In my hometown it breaks noise ordinance and yes you can be ticketed.
