Hello Everyone,

There was just a few interruption from noisy neighbors but nothing unusual their. I guess they did not think I was alive in here.:) Nevertheless,I got my work done and as was reading my email I ran across an based on the arrest of a woman who just doesn't it. It is reproduced here with permission.

Woman faces the music for noise complaints

CALLAWAY - Loud music brought a deputy to a woman's door three times Halloween night, but either she wouldn't listen or couldn't hear the order to keep it down, and had to face the music.
The visits began when a noise complaint sent a Bay County Sheriff's deputy to an address on Pridgen Street at a couple minutes after midnight on Nov. 1. The deputy could hear the music as soon as he arrived on scene, according to an incident report.
He told the homeowner to turn down the music. It was too loud and constituted a breach of the peace, he said. The owner, Rosario Aguirre, agreed to turn down the music, but it didn't stay low for long.
"As I walked to my vehicle, I was able to hear that the music volume went up to the original level," the deputy wrote in the report. "I then returned to the residence and made contact with the owner and advised her to move the party inside of the house and keep the music level down, and that she could be arrested for disorderly conduct."
About an hour and half later, another noise complaint sent the same deputy back to the residence. He heard the music before exiting his patrol car and thought the music was even louder than before, according to the report.
The deputy advised Aguirre that he was placing her under arrest for disorderly conduct and her guests would have to leave.
As the guests left, Aguirre asked "in a low tone" if there was anything she could do to avoid going to jail, the report said.
"I responded to her statement with, ‘No ma'am, you will go from here to the Bay County Jail," the deputy wrote in the report.

What a fine piece of police work. For those of you who are unaware of the new law governing loud music whether in a car or playing outside during a home party and/or a driveway, the new law states if a police can hear you at 25 ft of distant you are breaking the law. If this music is coming from inside a home, it should play moderately up to 11 P.M. If it is louder you are in violation of the law and the 25 foot distant applies.
Evelyn out.
