If the police only warn the neighbor, it's true that may be
anonymous but if a complaint is filed and the neighbor asks
who filed, it is their basic right to know who their accuser
is. However, if the police were to find the son blasting
away the radio when they arrived, they could cite that
without needing to mention any complaintant.

The sad thing is that the parents should do their job instead of expecting
neighbours to call the police.

Careful with the advice you hand out, Rod.
Unfortunately, there are people out there who would actually follow it... oO

Maybe they should just outlaw car stereos that can produce
more than a certain wattage or db sound level, since nobody
is going to pay for that much stereo without any intention
of using it... though on the other hand I must say that
today's new stock car radios are a lot more powerful than
they used to be, maybe the car manufacturers also need some
encouragement to limit max output... a deafness lawsuit or
something by an owner though I hate the thought of people
suing instead of taking responsibility for their own
deafness when they crank up a stereo or whatever other silly
thing a person might do then blame on someone else.

Hello, Rod:

Now, that's what I'd call a perfect example of "Fitness for Purpose" --
wouldn't you? ;-)
