What to do about noisy cars
Last night I was confronted with an unpleasant situation. I could hear a booming from outside, and it was louder than my TV, which I was watching. I went outside to inspect, and it ended up being some hoodlums parked at the 7-11 blasting their car stereo. I live 2 blocks away, so I imagine the people that live over there weren't too pleased.
I called the police on my cell phone to alert them to the idiots down the street. A patrol car arrived in 5mins, but the hoodlums saw it approach, and they turned their tunes off in time. The officer stopped in the street and warned the kids, and then left.
A few minutes later I started hearing the music again. I went back outside, and the idiots had turned their stereo back on. They were dancing around in the street, as if no one could do any thing to stop them. I was about to call the police again when they left.
The problem is, this is the second time this month that I have had to call the police to get rid of some noisy punks. The responding officer never does anything other than drive by and tell them to be quiet. I assume that they go to another place to park and bump their music.
I was hoping that someone here could give me advice as to how to deal with these neanderthals. Calling the police is only a palliative measure, since they don't want to have to make any effort to identify a recurring problem. It would be great if they cited the driver or impounded the car, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
