On the one hand, finding out just how hard I have to strike a tempered glass car window with the crossguard of my bastard sword to shatter it ought to be a spur-of-the-moment, heat-of-passion sort of thing, however tempting the thought of hunting might be.
On the other hand, I wonder whether there'd be any point to putting up some sort of sonic "wall of shame" ... would it work as public censure, or would the LOUD PEOPLE consider being listed a point of pride?
I'd really love to get a Baltimore cop with an SPL meter sitting at the curb writing expensive tickets, but even with the prospect of several hundred dollars worth of fines -- easy money -- I get the impression the city police force has a lot else to do. (And I need to look up what the law actually says about excessive noise.)
