Sound Cameras for Noise Pollution
From PhotoEnforced.com:
Alderman Natarus of Chicago is working on fighting noise pollution with sound cameras. According to his site:
The good news is that we are exploring a new technology that may give us the edge in our efforts to combat excessive motorcycle noise. There is a new device on the market called a sound camera that can take noise readings and automatically issue a ticket just like the red light cameras that are being installed throughout the City.
I am working with Mayor Daley to research the possibility of installing sound cameras in the locations where we get the most motorcycle traffic in our ward.
Its an interesting idea, I just wonder if this is that big of a problem. After all, red light cameras are trying to avert conduct that results in injuries and death. (More than 850 people die and and about 170,000 are injured each year in crashes caused by drivers running red lights according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - USA Today).
