Judge Gives Noise Ordinance Offenders Taste of Their Own Medicine to Teach Them a Lesson
Most offenders are young, so listening to outdated, syrupy songs on a boombox in a courtroom for an hour may leave lasting impression.
(Fort Lupton, Colorado)?If you've ever been on the receiving end of a skeletal-shattering boom-box pumping unappreciated music and lyrics into your already throbbing head while sitting at a stoplight, or worse yet, trying to sleep at night, you will appreciate this news out of Fort Lupton, Colorado.
A judge from that city, Judge Paul Sacco, punishes noise ordinance offenders who have been arrested for playing music too loud in their cars by making them sit for a full hour in a courtroom, without drinks, chewing gum, reading material, etc., and listen to music they most likely detest being played on a boombox.
No offense to certain music aficionados, but because most of the offenders are young, the music of choice to "punish" them with are songs by artists such as Karen Carpenter and Barry Manilow. Even Barney songs are played.
