All Out Ban Instead of Targeting Lawbreakers

Filed in archive Legislation/Environment News by Matt on September 10, 2007

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 vehicles links

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?

Add your response to All Out Ban Instead of Targeting Lawbreakers: Response from: Tom Summers (12/30/07 8:14am) All out ban needed all over the world. These machines are anti nature. Unbelievable that they would be allowed anywhere. Response from: Matt (01/07/08 9:33am) Tom, it's really lucky for us that people with little or no common sense (like you) are not allowed to make rules for the rest of us. Response from: Johnene (03/17/08 7:53am) ! agree on an all out ban as I thought they were banned. I didn't want my son to ride this 3-wheeled Yamaha 250 but he did and now he is dead and my grandson has no dad and I have no son! I still see them for sale everywhere-what the hell is the matter with people? Response from: Matt (03/17/08 8:23am) Johnene, I'm really sorry about your son. Honestly. But look at it from my standpoint. My brother was run over by a car and killed. People are STILL driving cars and my brother is GONE! I still see them for sale all over the place. What's the matter with people?
