What can I do about a guy who rides around with a radio taped to his bike?

Seriously. There's a guy that rides around in my neighborhood with a radio taped to his bike, blasting Spanish music. I REALLY can't take it anymore. I feel like it would be stupid to call the cops saying "Hey, there's a guy with a radio taped to his bike, it's disturbing the peace." However, I don't know what else to do! Help!
 
Ask yourself a couple of questions: if he was blasting opera or smooth jazz, would you feel the same about it? Also, is the music so very loud that it's truly interfering with the peace?

If it's just way too loud, your town has a noise ordinance, and you can have the police department enforce the ordinance. They would have him turn it down. Not off, just down.

It does matter if the hours in your city ordinance do not permit this. If the music is offensive, if it is annoying, if it is distrubing residents who work at night & sleep during the day, children taking naps, and the elderly/disabled being distrupted. Find out who (if at all) are being insulted by this distruption & start a petition. Also, find out the amount of decibals allowed during the day and the difference at night. I myself, find it rude that anyone thinks it's acceptable to interefe with other peoples peaceable existance. Maybe the jerk isn't aware or is looking for attention. Whatever the case, if your police don't allow your ears every right to a comfort zone that even soud-proof ear muffs don't cut that crap out, have everyone else who complains chip in and buy the noisemaker a headphone set.

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD........

THE COPS WILL SAY THAT UNLESS THEY SEE IT......AND THERE IS A COMPLAINT ATTACHED TO WHAT THEY SEE......

THEY WONT DO ANYTHING..............

SOME CITIES HAVE ORDINANCES THAT HAVE A $ 50.00 FINE FOR LOUD MUSIC COMING FROM CARS ETC..........

SEE IF THERE IS AN ORDINANCE.........FIND OUT WHERE THIS COCKROACH LIVES AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE......

Best thing to do is talk to your neighbors. Probably one call wont do anything, but a few will. Especially if it is late at night or early morning. Also, you can look into what type of music it is like someone who speaks spanish to tell you the lyrics, if they are offensive im sure the police will at least talk to him.
