Turn Your Stereo Up
May 12th, 2011 by flanewsDrivers in 14 Florida counties can now blast their stereos as loud as they want and not worry about being fined.
The 2nd District Court of Appeal ruled the state’s noise law passed in 2007 unconstitutional. The law says drivers can be fined if their stereos are heard from 25 feet away. The first and fifth DCAs have already upheld the law in previous rulings. Jennifer Meale, a spokeswoman with the Florida Attorney General’s office says the Attorney General may go to the state supreme court to put the issue to rest.
“The attorney general’s office is reviewing the ruling we have approximately a month to bring it before the Florida Supreme Court,” said Meale.
If the Attorney Generals Office does appeal, the Supreme Court will have to take on the case because it deals with a state statute.
