beaker Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 So a while ago while on my way to pick up my kids I was banging out some old school bestie boys at a stoplight, all the windows down, about to turn into the elementary school (it was after hours). Next thing I know when I pull in, a townie pulls in behind me and blocks me in. Officer: "You know I could write you a ticket for that right?" "Oh, I didnt think you could, what would you write me a ticket for?" Officer: "I can write you a ticket if I can hear your music from 50 feet away" I quoted him, word for word the law he was refering to, and pointed out that it stated in the law that it said "on the highway" Officer: "How did you know that?" Officer: "I emailed the local police cheif when I moved in a few months ago and asked him if there was any local noise ordances, he gave me the code number and I looked it up" Officer: "Well you're still disturbing the peace" "I'm sorry officer, but those laws are only in affect before 10am and after 10pm" Officer: "inaudible grumble" "I'm sorry officer, but if there's nothing else I have to pick up my kids." officer says something about hearing emergency vehicles as hes getting in his car and drives away Dont get me wrong, I have nothing against the police, my dad was an officer for over 15 years. He always taught me to know my rights and stay calm when talking to the police. He also reminded me that an officer can, if you piss him off, hold you for 24 hours under "suspicious activity". So just remember, be calm, and respectful, and it'll end up like this Know your rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrionStang Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 He stopped you because of the music. It was probably just to check out what you were up to. You handled it the right way, though.
