Noise Violation Ticket

MotorcycleGuy said:
Hi everyone,

This past weekend I had a party at my house in the KW area. Long story short after getting a couple warnings, the party got shut down by the cops. The next day I received a $300 ticket for "Permitting to be made noise likely to disturb the inhabitants" from by-law. I'm not sure exactly what that means in legal terms.

Is it worth fighting the ticket or should I just pay it? Everyone in the house is splitting it either way.

All feedback is greatly appreciated.

I'm no lawyer, or a justice of the peace, or a paralegal, or intelligent, but I would imagine that with a few warnings/visits from the cops and then their direct intervention, you really do not have much of a legal leg to stand on. Usually the noise by-laws are pretty cut and dry with the times you're allowed to be a nuisance and when it is time to shut it down. You're not endearing yourself to the neighbourhood with those kind of shenanigans. I would just suck it up and divvy the fine and chalk it up to the cost of having a good time in a surburban environment. Next time maybe invite the neighbours.

You are seriously asking this considering what you wrote.
And we wonder why things are becoming the way they are.

How are things becoming which way now?

Anyway, if the party was this loud then hopefully there were more than a few people there and hopefully you can get coin from most of them -- even if you only get 10 to chip in, that's $30/person... which at that point probably isn't even worth rearranging your schedule to attend the court date. It's not like insurance will be involved as with a speeding ticket.

He said they got a COUPLE OF WARNINGS and when they finally gave them a ticket he is on here trying to avoid HIS RESPONSIBILITY from HIS ACTIONS.

This feeling of ENTITLEMENT.

No contrition for the people that had to put up with the noise from his party.
 
Okay, calm down. I was just trying to have clarified how you felt things are the way they are these days.

Like no one ever got busted for loud parties 30, 40 or 50 years ago. My brother had an entire block of a country road shut down by the OPP 30 years ago when his graduation party got out of hand -- him and his damn sense of entitlement inconveniencing all of the farmer neighbours at 2am! Kids will be kids, **** happens, don't worry the sky is not falling (yet).

You don't see the fail in his post?
Clearly his mentality is I will do what I want even with warnings.

The Cops were nice enough to give him as he claims a COUPLE.
Pay the ticket and send some apology letters to your neighbors.

btw- any calmer and would be taking a nap with this weather..lol
 
You don't know the whole story though... parties can sometimes get out of hand and they become very difficult if not impossible to shut down. How do you know that 20 members of the Delta Tau Chi house didn't crash the party and D-Day was revving his motorcycle while Bluto was cranking the tunes?

All he asked was should he bother to fight it, and so far the consensus has been no. It is no different in the Law section where everyone asks "I got a ticket for X, should I fight it?"

Right away you start into your chicken little spiel about what is this world coming to these days. Are you sure you aren't a middle-aged reverand's wife and your username should be H. Lovejoy or maybe Helen L.?

Fight the ticket!
You're very much in the wrong here of course and that's what makes it beautiful. What a golden opportunity bestowed on a young man starting his lifes' journey. Successful people don't get ahead by laying down for anybody. Especially the law. Fight it out and claim victim status if need be. Whatever it takes, never admit guilt. It's not the Canadian way.
Valuable life lessons like this don't come by every Saturday night. Learn, grow, flourish and prosper. This lesson could be applied to your future career. It's a jungle out there! Play this right, someday you'll be helming the tie rods of a barely used Aston Martin.
You're welcome.

That's literary gold right there.

Just to clarify everything, I live across across from a college and the only people on the street are students. A lot of the direct neighbors were there that night.
By-law always circles the area Friday and Saturday nights. So they probably called the police after giving us warnings.
To be honest, there wasn't that much noise. But, you can see the kitchen and living room from the street.
We will probably end up just paying the ticket anyways.

Perfect. Just keep massaging it. Welcome aboard young man.
