There should be a $5000 fine for loud stereos on motorcycles. It's useless noise.

The only people who like loud harleys, are harley owners, and I don't like that at 2am going by my. Not saying I am innocent.
Just go get a stock exhaust. I got one bike with stock right now, and I can sure hear the radio nice. I don't think I am going to bother changing. Granted i got other bikes that are not stock.
Also you are being a drama queen, you are not being treated like a murderer, you are getting a ticket.

in your app or or play store type decibel meter, tons of free and pay ones
and this is the regulation
The maximum allowable sound levels in table III are based on a sound level measured at, or adjusted to, a distance of fifty feet from the center of the lane in which the motorcycle is traveling.

In NYC, spitting in a subway is a $50 fine. Vomiting is free.
What's the fine for blowing your horn when you are near the camera ? The horn on my bike is 129 dB.

NY has to prove 1) that it was you operating the bike, and 2) it was your bike alone that made the noise that triggered the meter, and not another vehicle, horn, etc. No camera on a pole is going to prove anything if you are wearing a helmet and no exposed ink. Just a waste of resources that will get shot down in court - once again.

Just ride up and park directly under the camera/db meter. Every time an expensive car drives through the intersection, rev bomb the camera. Enjoy yourself a dozen times, and leave. Just sayin’ what my 17-year-old self would have already done.
