Let me translate for you:
Management (the courts) do not find it lucrative enough (political capital) to pursue weak cases (lax laws passed by the legislative branch).
In order to fix you must bring awareness in your local community to the problem (lax laws) and petition change (raise political capital). The courts and byproxy, enforcement, will follow. The larger the city, the more difficult this becomes.
- genter 3y agoNo, I believe the officer I talked to didn't care and thought I was a pansy.
- grepfru_it 3y agoErgo he has no incentive to target certain laws. Nothing I said was incorrect
- bdcravens 3y agoProbably a gearhead showing his personal bias.
- genter 3y agoThe really frustrating thing is I love cars. I love driving, I love shifting though the gears, I love working on them, I've replaced headgaskets, rebuilt transmissions, and regeared differentials. I just hate how obnoxious noisy vehicles are.
- bdcravens 3y agoFor sure - I love speed myself. (Ironic that my fastest car ever is also the quietest, but EVs are a different creature). I guess not everyone has the same ethos that our personal enjoyment doesn't entitle us to encroach on others.
- lokar 3y agoThis. More so for loud motorcycles, since cops tend to also own them.
- dumbfounder 3y agoI am in favor of louder pipes for motorcycles for safety reasons. But there is such a thing as too loud.
- BobaFloutist 3y agoWhich is the same reason every biker with loud pipes wears a full high-vis outfit. Or maybe they're just assholes.
- dumbfounder 3y agoMost of them are assholes, but that doesn’t mean it’s not safer to be louder.
- rrix2 3y agosafer for whom? My windows only rattle after the motorcycle has driven past, they don't project the noise ahead of you nearly as much as you think they do.
- dumbfounder 3y agoIf you are riding on the highway going the same speed as other cars, it is often hard for them to see you, but if they can hear you they know you are there. It isn’t about driving past.
- genter 3y agoSo should every pedestrian have a blazing siren on their head?

- pseg134 3y agoTo be fair to that cop I think you were too. Did you try solving the problem for yourself first?
- genter 3y agoBeing woken up 1:00 in the morning multiple times a week by the walls of my house shaking from my neighbors vehicles makes me a pansy? But I did talk to them. Turns out he lives with his mom, and she just bitched me out.
