Noise Ordinance

No Rodney, I am not picking on you, and I know you have posted on my blog as an anon and that is fine.
Farha brings up an issue that needs some attention, I have read a few posts on this topic before. THE NOISE ORDINANCE or lack there of.

Maybe ABC/UMR could shed some light on this for me?
What is unnecessary anyway? Open to much interpretation isn't it?
We were wondering what kind of calls Farha was getting so we purchased another MicroMini Spy Bug V3.0, this time we had it equipped so that it would be activated whenever the phone rings, and had installed in Farha's kitchen. We were able to do this under the guise of homeland security and the Patriot Act. I will assure you we will get the warrant later.

Call 1

Farha residence.......yes this is he.........really? well did you get the license plate number?.......... Oh I see, yes I know getting around with a walker can be cumbersome. Well next time, if you will sit next to the window you will get it. .....
What's that? .........No the police are to busy doing speed enforcement on Broadway....... Yes, well the fine for a noise violation is as little as $5 so it just does not make economic sense to enforce it......You say that would be the first time that the city was worried about the police doing something economical......Yes, well I guess I could ask for everybody to take some civic pride and follow the rules......Okay well let me know if I can help in anyway.....Ok..uhuh..byebye now.

Call 2
Farha residence.....Yes....Oh you got the license number?.......No but you got a description of the perpetrator's vehicle...... Big motorcycle yes I got it.......really big back wheel........short driver.....looks like who?....the guy that used to own O'Griff's, I see. Well ma'am some of those motorcycles are just made to be loud. No I don't think they have ever written a citation for a loud chopper. Normally they write them to the miscreants that play their music to loud. Yes I know that the loud music can only be heard for a couple of blocks but some of these choppers can be heard for a mile. But you have to understand that the people that drive these bikes have more money and we can't write them tickets because some of the police officers just love these bikes. And the ordinance is written so the officer has full discretion and what he or she deems as an unnecessary noise may be different than what you do......yes I know but I can't just write a new ordinance that makes sense, that would require too much work and we gotta figure out this whole beer garden thing right now......Hello...hello..Hmm?

Mike F is actually the best alderman we got in the 4th . He actually gives a damn and ONCE he gives his word he stands by it .

On Repubs we got Mike & Paul that hell of high water we can count on to do the right thing.

also Mike & I lived by the OLD T-N_T and every Sat I was close to going POSTAL and doing an INTRO to "T-Shot 3.5 " goose load " class to the next F*ck that annoyed me during a BAMA game .


Nice to have one true REPUB in 4th ward ! In two years we will once again have two !

Though I gave Harry some sh!t the other day about the beer garden stuff, I gotta say you guys nailed the noise thing, especially the effing motorcycles. They roar by my apartment day and night and they're so damn loud they shake the pictures on my walls.

If I wanted that kind of grief I'd live by the railroad tracks, for gawd's sake.

yes, u can have a harley and shake things off the wall its ok, but have a car with mufflers and your the worst criminal in town. I had a friend of mine who had an '88 regal with flowmaster mufflers get a loud exhaust ticket, he said as he sat there waiting for the ticket some harley drove by with no exhaust the cop acted like it was just skippy.
