They can give you a noise violation/stunting ticket, which can be easily beaten in court.

They can do whatever they want... Then you fight it out in court.
In a game of he said/she said the judge will side with the "man in blue".

YA know what pisses me off is when those friggen harley motorbikes go flyin by a cop and nothing is done but if a cop drives buy one of us listening to loud music, we get pulled over and harassed and possibly ticketed.

Those bikes make more noise than most of our stereos.

solution: play loud bike noises on your stereo when passing a cop and see if he'll pull you over

A noise violation ticket can be given just as easy for a stock stereo.
Noise violations are given out mostly when a complaint has been made against the individual (ie. loud music in a residential area or parking lot with surrounding houses).
If you drive around town blasting loud music it is annoying to everyone. So are loud motorcycles and other vehicles.

I would not say vehicles with loud music are targeted any more than loud exhaust (ie. see above where I stated most tickets are given because of complaints) but remember that a noise violation is an excuse to pull someone over to check for other offences. And if someone is blaring their music it is likely bothering other people so why not pull them over and see why it is they feel the need to annoy people in general.

Don't think I am taking sides but it's just that I can see valid points from both sides here and personally I don't play my music loud around town because I know how annoying it is to be siiting at the lights and have to listen to the loud vehicle beside me.

Man the cop's must really hate music. Heck i drive by the cop shop all the time with my music blaring. It's the only way to go for a sluch run. The only thing's i have been pulled over for is stunting and not wearing a seat belt. both time's i had my music blaring. Mabye the cop's here are just really laid back.
