The issue isnt so much with the people on the ground. It's the wankers above them instructing them to hassle people doing no harm or not bothering anyone. ie easy target motorists.
IMO 98db at 4k isnt that bad. But then, are they pulling people because they actually heard them driving at 4k or over making noise, or simply because the car has the potential to do it ?
Do they also issue with a speeding ticket because it may be able to exceed the speed limit ?
Do they issues tickets because you may drive through a red light ?
Offences and crimes are supposed to be were wrong has been done, harm cause etc etc. Seems most motoring offences are created for easy fine issue with no crime or harm having ever been caused. Just that it may do at some point.
Complete and utter load of balls.
And is there even a dB reading on any database for a Sierra Cosworth ? I somehow doubt it. As for his mystical 80db...just how is this measured, do they have proper approved equipment to carry out the test ? Under what circumstances was the test carried out ? Are they trained in using the equipment ?
I think you'll find they wouldnt have any answers to all of those questions.
