I'm sure you could get it thrown out if the officer didn't have a instrument to measure a 25' distance or decibel rating, but the question is how much money would you spend fighting it versus just paying it.

Better off to pay it. From what I understand they recently just changed that law again, stating that if your stero is to loud they can impound your car. Then you will be responsible for all of the fees. After you pick up your car you have to have it inspected to show that you removed the system.

Ahh didn't know it was just in Sarasota, good to know. I could see some lawsuits comming from this as well. It just amazes me how much time they waste with trivial BS. As if there arent more important things to worry about.

i got pulled over friday night for my stereo.. the dickhead cop was searching my car and i was talking to the cool one and i asked him how loud it was and he said
"dude i couldn't even hear it.. we are just looking for drugs"
then i asked the other one and he said with a tone "we were like 100ft away!"
but i didn't have drugs so they let me go.. and before i left the cop asked "what does TR stand for?" and i said "it's a car website called Tampa Racing
he asked if its where we talk about street racing and i said
"no we have TRack events for that"
then the dickhead cop said
"good because if i catch you racing on my streets im taking you straight to jail"
the cool cop just looked at me and laughed.. it was a pretty interesting stop..
*edit*
i dont know what this has to do with your thread.. i just thought i would share..lol
75 bucks isnt worth fighting.. just pay it and be done.. and keep it down!
