L.A.M.C. & sound systems
Thread started by digablesoul at 09.2.08 - 3:40 pm

So on the “Play in the Valley Ride” this past Saturday, I was taking pics of the LAPD talking to rbi. They saw me snapping away and 5 officers came up to me to lecture me on why they are doing what they were doing and was asking questions on who we were. My music was off and I could see one officer eying my speaker setup and said that I couldn’t even have it on. I tried saying something like db levels I can have it to and he said that since it was amplified that I couldn’t have it on at all. Anyone know the L.A.M.C on noise and the interpretation of it? Has BBD ever had issues on the noise thing w/ his system? Thanks in advance...

LAME! The buzzkillers got this one through the City Council.

It looks like they're aware that this ordinance may infringe on the 1st Amendment, but unless someone has the time and patience to, quite literally, fight for our right to party through the superior and appellate courts, we'd better just make sure there are fresh donuts next to the speakers on the sound trailer.

SEC. 115.01. PURPOSE.
The Council enacts this legislation for the sole purpose of securing and promoting the public health, comfort, safety, and welfare of its citizenry. While recognizing that certain uses of sound amplifying equipment are protected by the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly, the Council nevertheless feels obligated to reasonably regulate the use of sound amplifying equipment in order to protect the correlative constitutional rights of the citizens of this community to privacy and freedom from public nuisance of loud and unnecessary noise.

SEC. 115.02. PROHIBITION AND REGULATIONS.
It shall be unlawful for any person, other than personnel of law enforcement or governmental agencies, or permittees duly authorized to use the same pursuant to Sec. 103.111 of this Code, to install, use, or operate within the City a loudspeaker or sound amplifying equipment in a fixed or movable position or mounted upon any sound truck for the purposes of giving instructions, directions, talks, addresses, lectures, or transmitting music to any persons or assemblages of persons in or upon any public street, alley, sidewalk, park or place, or other public property except when installed, used or operated in compliance with the following provisions:

(a) In all residential zones and within 500 feet thereof, no sound amplifying equipment shall be installed, operated or used for commercial purposes at any time.

(e) The only sounds permitted shall be either music, human speech, or both.

(f) Sound emanating from sound amplifying equipment shall be limited in volume, tone and intensity as follows:

1. The sound shall not be audible at a distance in excess of 200 feet from the sound equipment.

2. In no event shall the sound be loud and raucous or unreasonably jarring, disturbing, annoying or a nuisance to reasonable persons of normal sensitiveness within the area of audibility.

(g) Except as provided in (b) above, no sound amplifying equipment shall be operated upon any property adjacent to and within 200 feet of any hospital grounds or any school or church building while in use.

(h) (Amended by Ord. No. 145,691, Eff. 5/2/74.) The operation or use of any sound amplifying equipment installed, mounted, attached or carried in or by any sound truck is further prohibited:

1. Within the Central Traffic district at any time;

2. Upon Hollywood Boulevard between Vermont Avenue and La Brea at any time;

3. Upon Wilshire Boulevard at any time;

LOOK IF ITS OFF WHEN THE POPO SHOWS UP,
THEN THEY CAN NOT GIVE YOU A TICKET,

WHEN HARRY GOT THAT TICKET, THE ONE TIME I WATCHED, HE SYSTEM WAS ON, AND LOUD, BBD SPEAKER REALLY 'THROWS' THE SOUND,

SO REMEMBER TO TURN THAT SHIT OFF IF ANY RIDAZZ HOLLER THAT THE POPO ARE AROUND.

AND IT IS NECESSARY FOR ALL RIDAZZ TO HOLLER WHEN THE POPO SHOWS UP,

THAT IS THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS,
REMEMBER THAT IT IS CUSTOMARY FOR THE POPO TO REQUEST,

NO MATTER HOW MEAN, TO "TURN IT DOWN".
