Do you have similar laws in your part of the world?

Was it an HSV Maloo?

Why couldn't they put the criminal in the crusher instead?

Wish we had a law like that for loud music from a vehicle.

Wish we had a law like that for loud music from a vehicle.

Each State has different laws in relation to this matter but New South Wales is a typical example,

The Law on Using a Motor Vehicle Sound System that Emits Offensive Noise in NSW

In NSW, the offence of using a motor vehicle sound system that emits offensive noise is contained in Regulation 31, 32 and 33 of the Protection of the Environment Operations (Noise Control) Regulation 2017.

Cause Sound System of Car to Emit Offensive Noise or Drive/Use Car on Road with Sound System Emitting Offensive Noise

If you cause the sound system of a motor vehicle to emit offensive noise in NSW, you will face a penalty of up to $5,500 for an individual or $11,000 if you are a corporation under Regulation 31 Protection of the Environment Operations (Noise Control) Regulation 2017 (NSW). To be guilty of this offence, there is no requirement that you be on a road or road related area.

There are a number of laws we have here in the states that CAN be applied to such situations, but actually using them is rarely required.

In years past, I have advised offenders that they MAY be arrested for disorderly conduct or even riot, and that their vehicles may be seized as evidence of their crimes, but in 30 years, I have ALWAYS been able to resolve the matter without actually having to take any enforcement actions.

Maybe my Gerbil Voodoo is that good, eh?
