Cars are already subject to noise restrictions. So effectively loud cars are banned. There is just little enforcement for most of it.

Let's refocus the police funds of shooting or falsely arresting POC, and instead ticketing and enforcing the loud car situation.

Who needs cops? I believe CA passed a bill to trial automatic enforcement of this issue last year. Detects excessive noise and photographs the license plates just like speed cameras.

I’m waiting to see where they will trial it. I haven’t heard anything recently.

Agreed. Take 90+% of their funding, and use it for preventative measures instead.

Our po-po don't shoot POC (generally) but we still have loud cars.

I know what I'm saying is not objective data, but where I live I hear a ton of motorcycles that are tweaked to remove the silencers and noise protections
