Noise Violation - Nubblies.net Forums

Nathan · 09-12-2006, 01:42 PM

So this weekend we had a party at our house and got a noise violation ticket. We had previously discussed that if the cops ever showed up it was my job to talk to them. Three of my roommates are 21+ and all want to be teachers, so a serving minors would look pretty bad on there record.

Anyways, I dont really feel like going into the whole story, but I do have to appear in court this friday at 10am. I was wondering if anyone has ever gotten a noise violation and what the cost was. It may vary from city to city though, this is Ann Arbor and ive been hearing like $150-200, but nothing for certain.

Wow that sucks a ton. I've had cops at my door at almost every party I've every thrown and have never even heard mention of it. They usually just tell you to keep it down. Sometimes they even come back later and tell us again, and we still don't get them. I don't know anyone who's actually gotten one.

That seems kind of harsh man, I've heard of people getting noise violations but never having to appear in court for them.

Yea I think they just wanted to be assholes that night. It was Saturday night after the football game... its not like everyone else hadnt been loud as fuck all day.

They also were like "Have you had anything to drink tonight son?" and I was like "Umm yea a little." and they then said something like "Well you better break this party up or else we'll come back and give you an MIP as well." (im 20 btw). I was definetely pretty wasted at this point so I wasn't gonna lie to them but damn. Its bad enough you just gave us a fucking $200 ticket, leave us alone.

Well initially I didn't think I had to. Everyone at the party was telling me dont worry about it, its just a ticket you have to pay... but we actually checked out the ticket for real last night and realized it has a sticker on it that says I must appear in court on the first Friday following the violation at 10am. I even called the court this morning to verify. Pretty dumb IMO, id rather just give the fuckers there money and go to work like im supposed to Friday, now I have to change my whole schedule around.

Pretty shitty, I assumed UM cops would be fairly human, especially after a game.

Nathan · 09-12-2006, 04:19 PM

Well it caught us off guard cause 3/6 of the roommates here were here in this house all of last year as well. They probably threw a dozen or so parties during that time period and never once had a problem with the cops. Here I am 3 months into my lease, 2nd week of the semester and we already got busted. So now we are a little hestitant to have any big parties anytime soon again cause of this.

He's right. Cops need a warrant to enter the house.

Or just be a baller. Never underestimate the power of looking someone in the eye and assuring them that you will take care of the problem.

Ninjaface forgot the Patriot Act conveniently ignores the 4th amendment. I'm sure some kind of terrorist activity was going on.

I'm fairly certain if the cops see a crime taking place, they can enter without a warrant.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
