I have some music violation tickets for my bass being too loud, but why give us music lovers tickets, when cops should be arresting criminals, and murderers and rapist. I dont want to get fined when he should be doing something better!!!!

Music at the volume you are speaking of violates noise ordinances and poses a safety hazard. Also, not everyone wants to hear your music.
I support police when they pull over and cite drivers for excessively loud music.
When your music is so loud that the car is vibrating, how are you supposed to hear a horn...or a siren...or a train whistle...or anything at all?? That is the safety hazard. The music is also too loud for other drivers to hear those warning sounds.
So...if you have been ticketed, your bass IS too loud...it's WAY too loud. If I can hear you coming from a mile away, it is FAR FAR too loud. Turn it down.
Also...you never thought about your future hearing, did you? You don't have any idea the damage you are doing to your ears, do you? Do you want to be mostly deaf by the time you are 40 and needing hearing aids just to communicate?

Sometimes when you drive around with the bass turned all the way up, you knock things off the walls in houses. If you think you should be allowed to do this, perhaps you should speak with some homeowners that have experienced this phenomenon. In my opinion, you stereo doesn't need to be so loud that I can hear it (or feel it as the case may be) outside of your car.

you're not a music lover , you love attention and hearing bass . If you actually got a ticket odds are you have 2 wal-mart 12's with a road gear amp with factory hi's . My point being if you were a music lover you would go toward a quality system that doesn't need to be that loud to piss people off

You know what I hate? Loud music that I don't want to hear. Why do you think the world needs to listen to your particular play list?
I write people tickets for that all the time. I don't care if you want to hear a particular song but it doesn't mean everyone wants to hear it.
How about I have some smoker come and blow smoke in your face? Its the same principal.

If there is a noise ordinance, yes, you should be ticketed. For every person who enjoys their stereos at earsplitting volumes it seems like there are 2 people who call and complain. Turn down your stereo, insulate your car better, or go out away from town to listen to your car stereo.

It's a safety thing. How would you be able to hear a horn, or a siren if your stereo is blasting away?
I'll be honest with you- I have seen this happen alot around here, and it puzzles me why people play it so loud. The car actually vibrates! We can hear them coming a mile away, literally a mile away. I find it disturbing. I don't want to hear that garbage they blast. The way I have it figured, deafness is in their future.

It's about time. These hoodies who drive around with their booming stereos forcing everybody else to listen to their "music" have the exact same mentality as somebody who farts in a crowded elevator because he thinks it smells good. In some towns, the cops will even impound your car and rip out all your tricked-out speakers and stereo equipment in order to present them in court in front of the judge. I'd like to see more of that.

As a police officer, we don't pick and choose which laws to enforce. We enforce them all. You may like your music, but someone else may not. If your music rises to the level of annoying the general public, then you should be ticketed. I have been inside my own home at night and felt the ground shake on a passing vehicle because their music (bass) is too loud. I'm certain you would not want to listen to my choice of music, don't force yours on me.

Just pay your fines and finish listening to your music, because in 20 years, you're gonna be deaf.

you mean "fine", not "find". Cops don't fine anyone. Cops write citations based on statutory law. If you don't like it, contact your legislator to change the law.
Most of the time cops only focus on these types of laws if there has been a complaint. I have a wannabe gang-banging prick in my neighborhood who has a very large bass (and probably a very small penis) in his wannabe "Fast and Furious" mobile and plays it every night at 2 am. That is until the local PD gave him several tickets.
