Police crack down on noise from loud motorcycles
By James MCGinnis- Bucks County Courier Times - July 28,2008
Bristol Township police have issued about six citations for loud motorcycles in recent weeks as part of the department's “no tolerance” policy on noise pollution, officers said.
The township said it is training police officers as certified commonwealth inspection mechanics. That way, they can identify cycles retrofitted to make more noise.
“We have four guys on the street with this training,” said police Lt. Gaetano Sava. “We're hoping to get another three officers trained later this year.”
Police cannot legally stop a motorcycle without probable cause and officers do not carry decibel meters to measure sound levels, Sava added.
“In some cases, we'll issue a warning,” he said. Those who get a warning are told to fix their bike and bring it to the police station for inspection. “We see that they fixed their bike, and we don't give them a ticket,” Sava added.
Sava said the department wants to make clear that it's not targeting all bikers.
“This is not about targeting everyone on a bike. It's about going after the ones [who ride bikes] that are excessively loud.”
Bristol Township police Chief James McAndrew announced the “no tolerance” policy on loud motorcycles in late May. The department will issue fines of about $75 for offenders, McAndrew said.
“When you hear a loud one, it's illegal and it needs to be stopped,” McAndrew said.
