Default Excessive Noise Survey

My city has a noise survey out until 15 December.

http://www.calgary.ca/portal/server....ise+Survey.htm

They tried last year, but the Mayor at the time said no dice. This is just a tax grab. They want to put noise measuring devices with cameras to fine anyone who drives by - like a red light camera.

No police intervention, no common sense, just a ticket in the mail. This drives me crazy.

First off, what do they define as excessive noise?

I don’t know much about Canadian law but they tried speed camera’s here and would mail offenders a ticket. Most people just simply through the ticket in the garbage because state law requires that a citation be presented by a dually appointed officer.

The state lost money so they canceled the contract with the private camera contractor and ordered that all the cameras be shut down.

I just submitted a survey to your link. I'm surprised it was taken, as I live in the US. It asked me what community I live in and I answered "a nice one".

I just did the survey 10 times, everyone should.
Edmonton just made a loud motorcycle law with a $250.00 fine and the worst part is it only applies to motorcycles, not loud stereos, trucks, busses, construction equipment, chain saws nothing but motorcycles.

You can send in as many as you want so have all of your friends do 500 of them each this weekend.

That sucks. What if someones vehicle backfires in the vicinity as you are passing the camera? Unless the device records as well, I dont see how they can pin it on you.
