MONTGOMERY, Ala., April 2, 2007 -- The Montgomery Police Department says Montgomery residents have had enough with noise pollution in the city of Montgomery.

In a statement on Monday, police spokesman Capt. Huey Thornton says the department "has received numerous complaints recently in reference to violations of the City's Noise Ordinance. We have started enforcing zero tolerance for violators of this law."

A special detail will work to "reduce the number of offenders of this ordinance. Last weekend officers cited 36 violators who were not in compliance with the Noise Ordinance."

Below is a copy of the ordinance. Residents are advised to be in compliance.

Sec. 18-175. Prohibited acts.

(a) No permit required by the provisions of this division shall be issued for any act prohibited by this section.

(b) It is hereby declared a nuisance and shall be unlawful to operate or play any radio, stereo system, musical instrument or similar device which produces or reproduces sound, whether from a motor vehicle or by a pedestrian, in such a manner as to be plainly audible to any person other than the player or operator of the device at a distance of 25 feet in the case of a motor vehicle or 25 feet in the case of a pedestrian.
