Every now and then someone comes up with a punishment that fits the crime. This is one of those stories. According to the Rocky Mountain News, a Fort Lupton Municipal Judge has been sentencing noise violators to listening to an hour of music they don't like. The list of music includes Barry Manilow, Barney the Dinosaur, and the Platters. This punishment has cut down on the number of repeat offenders. Can we apply this to the person in the car next to you whose bass is turned up so loud your car is vibrating? I like Barry Manilow. Does that mean that if I am every guilty of a noise violation, I have to listen to an hour of rap, hip hop, or heavy metal? That would be enough to prevent me from doing anything that would be considered a noise violation. I think this is a great way to cut down the number of offenders on what is essentially a nuisance crime.
