It would be especially sweet if it was a motorcycle cop writing those tickets. Though if I were a cop, I wouldn't want to be a motorcycle cop because they have a higher fatality rate.
As a motorcyclist, I'm firmly in the camp about quiet, stock pipes.
If I was dictator, I would impound and destroy any vehicle that was too loud.
I dont get why police dont take quality of life crimes more seriously like that. Like if you have a noise problem there is no reason to call the police, they won't show up. What are we paying them for? To write up documents for crimes that happen after the fact?
It's because the police serve the interests of the owning class, and so prioritize things such as corporate property damage and the ability for workers to get to their jobs.
Note that loud exhaust is not an issue in more affluent neighborhoods...
I've been told the number of people driving with loud exhaust is a function of how close you are to the nearest meth house. This is after adjusting the data for level of travel a given road or nearby road
I live near a school (equivalent to middle as well as high school). The rest is a purely residential area.
I feel that living near a school in the morning with mommy driving little Kevin to school in big SUV and little Kevin's older brother revving his engine as much as he can with his car comes probably somewhat close.
My late grandfather was a psychiatric expert doing psych evaluation of candidates for armed forces. His method was largely just chatting with the person for a few minutes and asking general questions. Even that revealed a lot. He didn't tell a lot about the people specifically, he took confidentiality very seriously, but could tell there where a lot of freaks applying, a notable candidate with a straight up American history X nazi tattoo.
