JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Turn that volume down.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office announced Tuesday that starting July 1, officers will start writing tickets to anyone playing music deemed too loud.
What does “too loud” mean, you ask? Apparently not very.
According to Florida statute 316.3045, that means not playing music that is “plainly audible” at a distance of 25 feet or more from your car, or “louder than necessary” around churches, schools, and hospitals.
The statute does not apply to law enforcement or emergency vehicles.
Drivers can be cited with a nonmoving violation that carries no points.
Lower your radio volume! Starting July 1, 2022, Florida State Statute 316.3045 will once again become enforceable. What does this mean? It means that you will have to listen to your radio at a volume that is NOT plainly audible at a distance of 25 feet or more. pic.twitter.com/DKLyIlcNMI
