THAT'S RACIST!
"Impounding a car for playing loud music is to severe, opponents said, and ripe for abuse."

On a first offense yes..but after a few times....take it. These booming stereos are a major nuisance...worse than second hand smoke...by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brought to you by the same people who banned smoking in public places...
step 2: Crush car with junkyard carcrusher, and;
step 3: Execute operator of vehicle.
They gonna take Nelly's car????
I think it odd that a person would want a setup like that in their car.
I've been sitting at a stop light more than once with the windows up and listening to talk radio. One of those cars pull up next to me and the bump-thump drowns my radio out. I can feel my chest thump as the bass vibrates all of my car.
In this area it is not so much Blacks as White kids.
What? (typical response from the average teenager nowdays. Used to be only grandpappy said that.)
Your sh*tting me right? I guess there is no crime left in St Louis...
I guess with the two 12's and 1200 watt amp in the trunk of my CTS make I am practically a murderer in St. Louis.
Talk about your stomping on the 4th amendment.
What ever happend to a little detail I like to call: Due process
Record the noise violation, press charges, use the law to seize the offender's vehicle. Simply giving the cops indiscrimate permission to seize vehicles for 'loud' music is ambiguous at best.
"Nice Lexus, lady ... I bet you could really crank those speakers if you wanted too..... nah, don't bother showing me, it's my car now".
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I don't agree with impounding, ticketing maybe, but I'd love to live long enough to see these kids with hearing aids.......
my buddies car has a system we always blast metal or rock, never rap, so if all the lil thug wannabes wanna blast rap...were gonna blast metal lol
Just make it legal for me to get out of my car, and beat the crap out of the guy in the boom-boom car.
And he'll probably plant a dimebag of heroin in my backseat while he's at it.
While they are at it, they should ban those spinning hub caps too. They give the impression of a car moving while still. Dangerous!
1976 Ford F-250, with rifle rack,$10,000.00 worth of speakers, "The Ride of the Valkyries" playing, and a case of Shiner beer.
The day is coming when they seize your car for having "offensive" or "insensitive" bumper stickers.
The cheering of government confiscation of property without recompense doesn't seem very conservative to me. Ok, how about Harleys? Those loud buggers wake me up regularly. I suppose, to be fair, they should be confiscated as well.
I have to disagree with passing something like this, just on principle. That being said, I'd still like the opportunity to take a Louisville Slugger to these little punks driving down my street at 2AM waking the freaking dead. Man I despise those kids, their golf-cart cars, and their coffee-can lawnmower-wannabe mufflers.
