Illegal Vehicular NOISE as Lucrative “Probable Cause” for Law Enforcement…

Illegal Vehicular NOISE as LUCRITIVE “Probable Cause” for a STOP and Investigate by Law Enforcement in Lee County, FL…

Those law enforcement agencies and their leadership and their mayor’s and their governor’s who permit vehicular NOISE thugs to destroy the daily quality of life of their citizenry they swore to protect and serve…vehicular NOISE thugs who recklessly endanger the health and welfare of those very same citizens, these are often times compromised as they themselves violate the vehicular noise laws they’re tasked to enforce and consequently the citizenry suffers.

There is also much money to be made, retail and in tax revenue, from permitting vehicular NOISE thugs to violate the rights and daily life of the citizenry…as an overwhelming number of citizens have grown accustomed to the illegal and intrusive and dangerous NOISE unware that laws exist that prohibit same, laws exist to protect our children, the elderly, our handicapped, from vehicular noise thuggery that is out of control and pervasive upon our public roadways; essentially a physical assault as noise is energy.

With that said, during my 31-years in law enforcement/traffic enforcement/street patrol, I found NO GREATER probable cause for a stop and investigate than vehicular NOISE as the same thug who violates the noise laws and audibly assaults the citizenry void conscience or care; these thugs are the very same thugs who often violate other laws for which warrants have been issued, license’ suspended. Any police officer who will take the initiative to stop unlawful vehicular NOISE will see an exponential rise in his/her warrant arrests….warrants cleared.

Driving and Riding LOUD is abusive, thug, mentally and spiritually ill behavior and it is the selfish and uncaring in our society that partakes in same! It is a compromised, lazy, ignorant, police department that permits vehicular NOISE thugs to rule our public roadways.

Mayoral Prostitution with the LOUD Biker Cult[ure] via Biker Rallies – Daytona, FL

Mayoral Prostitution with LOUD Biker Cult[ure] at “Bike Week” – Daytona, FL

During my 31-year tenure with the Houston PD, I served the citizens of Houston as a Motorcycle Patrol Officer, Radio Patrol Officer and in Air Support.

During my enforcement years, I cited, incarcerated, untold numbers of “men” who operated illegally LOUD motorcycles, auto’s, trucks, on our public roadways and these, with intent and some in ignorance, audibly abused the children, the elderly, the handicapped, the families, living and seeking a good daily quality of life, those who lived and worked in my areas of responsibility.

Furthermore, I’ve never understood why and how city leaders, mayors, of some of our largest municipalities in the United States e.g., Daytona, FL are permitted to whore themselves for tax revenue, graft, money, with the LOUD Biker Cult[ure] via illegal biker rallies; this, while the citizens of these municipalities are audibly assaulted day and night with illegal vehicular NOISE…these same citizens are the people, the families, these “mayors” took an oath to protect and serve.

Florida’s Motor Vehicle Nose Law,

316.293 Motor vehicle noise.—

(5) NOISE ABATEMENT EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS.—

(a) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle or any other noise-abatement device of a motor vehicle operated or to be operated upon the highways of this state in such a manner that the noise emitted by the motor vehicle is above that emitted by the vehicle as originally manufactured.

(b) No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of the state with an exhaust system or noise-abatement device so modified.

I’ve never understood why a man or woman would illegally modify a motor vehicle to emit illegal noise emissions in multiples (algorithmically) the legal, safe, total, noise emissions of 80dB(A) and do so absent care or concern.

To this very day, I remain baffled by those who ride and drive LOUD and think their behavior is somehow cool coupled with bravado when in reality, these are selfish bullies who abuse the innocent among us; essentially, domestic terrorists.

I’ve owned some 30-motorcycles since age 12 and I’ve accumulated hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles on those motorcycles, professionally and for pleasure. Why do far too many “men” find riding LOUD to be acceptable when Federal and State laws prohibit same specifically for the safety and quality of life of the American citizen?

LOUD Biker Narcissism in Florida…

LOUD Biker Narcissism in Florida…

Every “custom exhaust” that is not properly tested and labeled by the US EPA IS illegal. 99% of aftermarket exhausts do NOT conform to the noise suppression requirements of the EPA mandates as per the SAE J331a full throttle testing procedure. You might “mind your own business” with LOUD exhausts but you destroy the daily quality of life of those who live and thrive in our communities.

I hate bullies…those who abuse children, the elderly, our handicapped, our families, with illegal, intrusive, physiologically dangerous, NOISE. There is a reason the mufflers on street use motorcycles are regulated, labeled, carefully tested and total motorcycle noise emissions limited to a relatively quiet 80dB(A) and your arrogance and your narcissism and your selfishness and your LOUD cult don’t trump this fact.

Loud Biker Facebook Group…”Senior Motorcyclists 50+” – shameful!

Thanks for accepting me into “Senior Motorcyclists 50+”…

Thank you for acceptance into this motorcycling group. I have owned approximately 30-motorcycles since age 12 and accumulated hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles on motorcycles while riding professionally as a motorcycle officer, long distance touring as well as a daily commuter in Houston traffic.

Over the years, I have become increasingly concerned about an abusive and illegal group of “LOUD bikers” who have turned the once honorable sport of motorcycling into a form of “domestic terrorism” via the operation of an illegally modified or illegally equipped motorcycle that abuses, daily, our children, our elderly, our handicapped, our families, destroying daily quality with illegal motorcycle NOISE; illegal aftermarket exhausts like the Vance and Hines “Big Radius” illegally LOUD exhaust pictured on this group’s main page photo. Our naive society has become conditioned to this abusive, dangerous, LOUD motor vehicle plague as the general public is unaware of the physiological dangers of unregulated motor vehicle NOISE.

I would personally like to see those who abuse our society with illegal motorcycle, auto, truck, NOISE cited, incarcerated, their illegally equipped motorcycles, auto’s, trucks, impounded until same is returned to quiet OEM status as per the Federal Code of Regulations, CFR 40 Part 205, a relatively quiet 80dB(A), properly labeled. The attached article expresses my concern and provides a viable solution to the LOUD motor vehicle thuggery in the United States that is more accurately defined as “domestic terrorism.” Kudos and respect to those who ride legally, respectfully, honorably, with their OEM-quiet-factory installed mufflers.

“Loud Pipes Save Lives” – Do Loud Exhausts on Motorcycles increase safety?

Loud Pipes Save Lives (The Lie)

The impotent mantra often cited by the narcissist who abuses their fellow citizens with illegal motorcycle noise is “I ride LOUD because Loud Pipes Save Lives.” Personally, having owned some 30-motorcycles since age 12 and having ridden professionally for years, Loud Pipes Save Lives is a lie, it’s obfuscation for illegal, abusive, behavior as illegally loud exhausts make the rider less safe through exponentially increased rider fatigue; through inadvertently invoking a “fight or flight response” from adjacent operators of motor vehicles who make unpredictable avoidance maneuvers when startled by the illegal, intrusive, noise passing and white-lining under acceleration; also, the illegally loud exhausts stymie the warning sirens of approaching emergency motor vehicles creating a hazardous scenario for the motorcyclist as well as every motor vehicle operator, bicyclist, pedestrian, in their vicinity as they approach a busy intersection. For all intents and purposes, in order for LOUD exhausts on motorcycles to be effective for safety concerns, the exhaust would have to be pointed forward where 75%+ of motorcycle hazards exist; specifically, vehicles turning left into the path of the approaching motorcycle; therefore, bright colored clothing, operating with headlight on, wearing a DOT approved motorcycle helmet, are actual safety measures, not illegal NOISE.

Illegal Motor Vehicle Noise in Florida – Unacceptable!

Illegal Motor Vehicle Noise in Florida, unacceptable!

Pervasive, Illegally LOUD motorcycles, auto’s, trucks, in Florida are generally operated by privileged, narcissistic, selfish, bullies, who abuse our most innocent, our children, our families, with their illegal, intrusive, NOISE that destroys the daily quality of life for millions; this, while a specific Florida State Motor Vehicle Noise Statute exists (§ 316.293 (5)) mandating the quiet OEM muffler affixed to all motor vehicles operated on the public roadways of Florida; this, while Florida’s law enforcement community is too compromised, too cowardly, too unconcerned, to use this illegal motor vehicle noise as “probable cause” to stop, investigate, cite, arrest, incarcerate, impound, the offensive and dangerous and intrusive behavior; this, while our Governor and Attorneys General and State Law Enforcement Administrators, Sheriffs, Police Chiefs, Mayors, Commissioners, look the other way, do absolutely nothing; this, while our State Legislators refuse to “criminalize” motor vehicle noise abuse and make it an impotent “civil” penalty subject to fines only. I love Florida, I hate the thugs who are not policed and privileged that destroy daily quality of life here and abuse our most innocent unencumbered by those sworn to protect and serve!

Vehicular NOISE abuse in Florida, some questions…

Vehicular NOISE abuse in Florida, some relevant questions…

  1. Can someone explain to me why Lee County enforcement officials refuse to protect and serve the most innocent, children – the handicapped – the elderly – our family members, from the audible abuse of illegally LOUD bikers, auto and truck operators, operating unencumbered on the public roadways of Lee County, Florida; this, when Florida’s State Motor Vehicle Law clearly prohibits the operation of these illegally LOUD motor vehicles by mandating a quiet muffler that meets the sound suppression capabilities of the OEM – factory-installed muffler that was affixed to the vehicle when manufactured? Why is the Cape Coral Police, Fort Myers Police, Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the State Highway Patrol, so very impotent and neglectful relevant to vehicular NOISE abuse? Does this misfeasance, malfeasance, stem from ignorance, apathy?
  2. Why have Florida’s State Legislators made violations of the Muffler Laws a “non-criminal civil offense” (fine only) as opposed to a “criminal physical assault” with escalating fines and incarceration for subsequent abusive offenses? Are Florida’s State Legislators and Governor DeSantis unconcerned about the health and welfare, the daily quality of life, of the Floridian, our families, our children, our elderly, the handicapped, who are abused by vehicular NOISE thuggery day and night, 24/7/365?
  3. Yes, the Legislator’s have recently enacted a noise law to address LOUD music “noise” emanating from motor vehicles, why NOT enforce the muffler laws as well and impound these offensive vehicles and incarcerate the abusers? How much longer must Florida’s residents suffer from the vehicular NOISE bullies? Where is the governmental intercession or are we expected to take matters into our own hands?

Regarding calls for unification subsequent an assassination attempt on President Trump

Concerning calls for “unification” between Republicans and Democrat-Progressives…

Subsequent the assassination attempt on President Trump, there is a call for unification and a “coming together” between Conservatives and Liberals; Republicans and Democrat-Progressives; Christianity and Atheism; Faith and Secularism.

For the record, Light and darkness cannot coexist; Good and evil will not mingle; Life and death are antithetical and it is not possible that a Conservative unify with a Liberal or a true Republican come to terms with a Democrat-Progressive or a Christian ally with an Atheist/Secular Humanist nor more than Faith can compromise with Secularism; therefore, America’s fracture and divide has but one solution, a second civil war where Republicans, once again, nullify the demonic agenda of the Democrat-Progressive.

A Political Party, an ideology, that is based in, founded upon, the murder of babies in the womb; the celebration of unconscionable sexual perversion via LGBTQAI++ spiritual illness; open borders destroying the sovereignty of America and the safety of Her citizenry, a Political Party that worships the creation and express hatred for the Creator, this Political Party is NOT sustainable in a Constitutional Republic; therefore, it cannot be allowed to exist and rule in tyranny nor can those who love America coexist with those who seek to destroy Her. Democrats-Progressives-Marxists-Atheists-Secular Humanists are horrible people and they have no place in a Land founded for the free and the brave and the worshipers of Jesus Christ to His glory, forever.

America’s Manifest Destiny?

America’s Manifest Destiny?

Please don’t be naive or passively ignorant concerning America as a dying Constitutional Republic. America is on life-support and She will not survive as a Constitutional Republic because Her heart, Her children, their heart and mind and soul, have been methodically abducted by the demonic i.e., the Progressive – Marxist Agenda.

Beginning with Progressive John Dewey, the Father of Modern Education, America’s children have been incrementally, methodically, brainwashed via public education to become faithful servants of Satan and Satan’s proteges, Karl Marx and Charles Darwin. Progressives via historical revisionism and evolutionary theory have destroyed the essential foundations of America’s Constitution via revisionist history and a rejection of Jesus as Messiah through evolutionary theory forced upon American students as a “biological science.” When you teach children that they are the descendants of apes while simultaneously mocking the Genesis narrative, why are we surprised when America’s citizens conduct themselves as apes via atheism, secular humanism?

The moral and ethical rot that flows freely from America’s institutions of “education” is just now bubbling to the surface for all to see but do not be naive, America is a rotting corpse and that odor that flows from a Democrat – a Progressive – a Marxist is the odor of Hell and our posterity is destined to suffer horribly.

Many place their faith in Donald Trump as the savior of our Constitutional Republic and I support President Trump’s valiant efforts as well but understand that even if President Trump is victorious over the demons of the Democrat Party in November of 2024, President Trump will only be a human “band-aid” on a hemorrhaging artery and a body of people who have sold their soul to Satan and that body is presently in an advanced state of decay and moral rot.

Again, America’s posterity will suffer horrifically and America’s “men” and the Christian Church have no one to blame but themselves for not eradicating the metastatic malignancy of demonic Progressivism before same abducted our children and molded them into servants of Satan.

Pine Island, Florida – citizens abused by illegal motor vehicle noise as Lee County’s Sheriff’s Deputies refuse to enforce the State Muffler Law…

Shame on those who abuse Pine Island, FL residents with illegal motor vehicle NOISE; Shame on the Lee County Sheriff’s Department for failing to enforce Florida’s motor vehicle noise laws…

Shame on the selfish BULLIES who abuse the children, the elderly, the families, on Pine Island, FL by operating an illegally LOUD, illegally equipped, motorcycle – automobile – truck on the public roadways that service Pine Island – Bokeelia – City Center – Saint James.

Shame on Lee County’s Sheriff Department, the Deputies, for their misfeasance – malfeasance – their refusal to enforce the factory-installed muffler requirements of the Florida State Motor Vehicle Code.

Shame on Lee County’s Sheriff Department for their refusal to protect and serve the citizens of Lee County, Florida who are daily and nightly subject to motor vehicle noise abuse; especially relevant, the abuse our children, our elderly, the handicapped, our families.

Sec. 316.293. Motor vehicle noise (Florida)

[…] No person shall operate or be permitted to operate a vehicle at any time or under any condition of roadway grade, load, acceleration, or deceleration in such a manner as to generate a sound level in excess of the following limit for the category of motor vehicle and applicable speed limit at a distance of 50 feet from the center of the lane of travel under measurement procedures […]

This following paragraph from Section 293 is very important as it restricts using any non-original equipment which can increase noise limits on cars or other vehicles:

(5) NOISE ABATEMENT EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS.—
(a) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle or any other noise-abatement device of a motor vehicle operated or to be operated upon the highways of this state in such a manner that the noise emitted by the motor vehicle is above that emitted by the vehicle as originally manufactured.

This makes it illegal to use any aftermarket modifications louder than ones your vehicle is manufactured with. All devices producing excessive exhaust noise are not legal. There are exceptions which include emergency vehicles, vehicles used in races or similar events, agricultural equipment, and test vehicles.
