"The City Council on Tuesday put more teeth in Raleigh's noise ordinance by allowing police to assess fines for violations.

Previously, police could charge someone with a misdemeanor for violating the noise ordinance, but convicting people on such charges was time-consuming, officials said.

The new ordinance, which takes effect July 1, allows police to assess civil fines for violations, starting at $100 per day for a first offense and $300 per day for additional offenses within 12 months. People have the opportunity to appeal a fine to an arbitrator."

I'm fine if they're reporting something after asking us to stop or something first...
I'm even okay with there being a fine for that sort of shit.

I don't know much about law in this regard, but this article makes it seems like the police are the ones charging you, like it's a speeding ticket but for noise... the ones who reported the violation should at least have to press for it or something... because then only the dickest of dickwipe neighbors will actually try to make you pay the fine.


Then again I'm not a particularly loud neighbor anyway, so whatever.

The lame-ass fuckbitches are the ones who keep their neighbors up all night, and don't pipe down when given ample opportunity before a call to the police.

This law is bogus, and a total violation of proper due process.

But 98% of the people who will get fined deserve it, so I'm not all that bothered by violations of procedural justice for them.

It would be if police almost always convicted people for it. But they don't, because it's too much trouble. Writing someone an excessive-noise ticket is easy.

i think you are gravely mistaken. there are a lot of neighbors who are nothing more than uptight and rather than reason with those throwing the party they resort to informing the police instead. In many circumstances it goes further than this and the neighbor will report even when its before 11 or when the noise isn't unreasonable. I've had cops come tell me before that my neighbor was a douche and that the party wasn't unreasonable. No one was outside and the music could not be heard outside.

so people simply hate a good time.

While I still despise the NPO; this is probably a good thing. Better to get a fine than a misdemeanor charge that actually goes on your record.

Yeah this is bs,


I THOUGHT I was on fairly good terms with my older than moses next door neighbor, but apparently not. Who would imagine that in a complex called UNIVERSITY APARTMENTS, there just might actually be some college aged kids who like to play guitar hero on a friday night. Go figure.

But instead of coming over and asking us to quiet down, she calls the cops. This from the woman who complained to the front office that my screen door slams too loudly and wakes her up in the morning when I leave for work. Seriously? Bitch, I'm not about to SNEAK OUT OF MY OWN HOUSE!


But the officer did look rather disappointed when I opened the door and it was just the four of us holding tiny plastic guitars.

If you don't like it, buy your own house and do as you please.

Until then, it is your obligation to respect the rights of your neighbors. That means turn down the guitar hero at a decent hour, and yes, as a show of human decency you should make an effort to leave more quietly in the morning.

It's not "your own house" as you call it. It's also hers. Again, if you don't like it - go buy your own.

Of course, she should have talked to you before calling the cops. But neither of her requests (guitar hero noise and door-shutting) are unreasonable.

You need to grow up, big-time.

or the ones who have to deal with

loud parties at all hours
neighbors who don´t respond to requests to quiet down
neighbors who don´t respond to notices from management
neighbors who don´t respond to police visits already
getting notices and fines applied to the whole building although only a portion of the tenants participated

having a good time does not mean making life miserable for everyone who lives around you if you choose to have it at home

Anyone who does these deserves the fine.

I'd imagine these are fairly rare, though... I don't know anyone who would not quiet down after a neighbor asks them to stop (unless they forget after a few hours of drinking, but that's still no good cause to call the police on them... besides, usually we've run out of beer before we even approach the point of being too loud), and if we started getting management notices we'd just find someone else's apartment to party at, but maybe I'm giving fellow college students too much credit. Or maybe I'm just not friends with the common douche, so my view becomes biased towards not many of them actually existing.

you are giving college students too much credit..and underestimating just how obnoxious the average person is/can be

i have wanted to ship my neighbors away for so long now
i cannot even express my extreme joy at moving away
