All Out Ban Instead of Targeting Lawbreakers

All Out Ban Instead of Targeting Lawbreakers
According to the Republican American, the town of Seymour in Connecticut is having a problem enforcing a 20-something year old "peace and quiet" ordinance in regards to ATVs and other recreational vehicleslinks including snow-mobiles.

The problem they're having is enforcing a rule (largely enacted because a few people think it's OK to ride without any regard for those around them, thanks!) limiting noise levels because they don't have a decibel meter. This has led to a proposed ordinance that would deal with that problem without the need to have a decibel meter, by prohibiting people from riding within 50 feet of someone else's property.

Is it just me, or is this a blatant case of government overstepping the boundaries?
