hey guys I was in manhattan yesterday night just coming back from dinner and I guess i did have the music up pretty loud on the drive home. well i got a ticket from an nypd officer and on the ticket it states the offense was "unreasonable noise" i admit to it. is this points on your license?any point in trying to fight it?is it just a fine I pay and be done with it?any advice would help.

 

i pretty sure it won't put points on ur license... if u saw the cop u shoulda turned it down a lil for the two seconds u were close to him...

 

actaully i didnt the cop was in the doorway of an unlit store..but thanks

 

that blows i always lower my music when i see da po po but if he was hiding that sucks. What kinda system u running stock? bose? aftermarket?

 

nah i was running stock so you would think it wouldnt be that bad..but our systems are pretty loud especially since the place where i got teh ticket was desolate..no other cars nearby or any type of sound so of course my system would sound louder. i bet if i was in traffic the cop wouldnt know the difference...i hate the pigs lol!!!

 

If you are stock I would fight it!

 

yea the stock systems are loud.. but not that loud where ur gettin a ticket... i thought u had subs an were playin loud... but getting a ticket from a stock system?? i would fight it too.. whats the worst that can happen... u lose and u have to pay?...

 

no its the days off i have to take to fight it..i dont have the sick days/vacation days to take..if its just a fine..i will suck it in and do some overtime to pay for it...i wanna fight it but it might be too much of a hassle...i am not rich but i dont have time or inclination to fight it.

 

Post pone it a few times. I know your situation though. I get parking tix all the time at the train station and some are my fault and some are BS. It's like the town knows you're not going to take a day off from work to fight a $25 ticket......but man after paying over 1K last year in parking tix, it is starting to **** me off!

 

if u fight it u will defenitely win.. i got a ticket for loud music as well in my old car and it was louder than our stock sys.. i plead not guilty went to court in a matter of 15mins it got dismissed because the officer didnt have a sound meter.. spl it think its called... i know it sucks taking a day off but see if u can do it during lunch or something. dont give ur money away for free..

 

yeah i guess your right.if i fight it would i have to see the officer again? he didnt like the way i carried myself eventhough i wasnt rude in anyway.

 

A few years ago I was sitting in traffic on a highway near me, I had two 12" subs in my car and I was blasting some music pretty loud. but it was like noon and I thought nothing of it, besides being a PITA to the people around me that didnt like my music. After a few min a detective jumped out of his unmarked car that was like 4 or 5 cars in front of me that i didnt notice. He started yelling at me to turn my music down and all this. So I did, and we had some words back and forth. We kept drving up the highway in traffic, I moved over to the left lane and wound up passing him, giving him a dirty look on the way. The SOB called my house later that night and told my parents to tell me the tickets were in the mail. the b@stard MAILED me a failure to stay right ticket and a tailgaiting ticket, WHILE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC!!!! But I got back at them, went to court and lied to the prosecutor and he dropped the tailgaiting ticket because I said I mailed in the payment for the failure to stay right, then I got a summons saying I didnt go to court for the failure to stay right, when I went back I said they dropped that ticket when they dropped the tailgaiting ticket (different pros & judge)(also like a month later). So they dropped that ticket as well, so all it did was take me two nights of sitting in court and wound up paying nothing. LOL.

 

just fight it... probably a rookie cop. i love going to court b/c for some reason the officers always have errors in their notes or tickets

 

How come they don't give those guys on the loud A@@ Harleys.
