Put an end to a major annoyance... | |
One of the most annoying parts of living in an inner-city suburb is the chavs and posers driving by at 3 mph blasting their bass for all it's worth at all hours of the day and night, shaking your house, rattling your windows, knocking pictures off the walls, waking the baby, etc...
That and speeding
through neighborhoods with children.
I think a paintball gun turret mounted on poles on street corners that target low frequency audio sources, as well as anything moving faster than the speed limit, would stop them for fear of depimping their ride.

"paintball" gun? If you're going to do something, do it properly! |

3mph is faster than the limit? |

i thought the proper thing to do was for all the neighbors to come out of their houses holding cricket bats and sledgehammers... |
|
| |
...because, of course, the only sources of low-frequency noise are all chavs and not, say, buses. [-] because I'm pretty sure I've seen this idea before, more than once. |
|

[edit, later] Wow, look at me. Sourpuss... |

This would have the opposite effect of what 21 Quest wishes for.
Far from being afraid of "depimping their ride", recipients will trigger these turrets on purpose and drive around with paint marks as a badge of insensitive thug honour. |
|
| |
Put up barriers that raise and trap cars? |
|
| |
get earplugs and sound-proof your house? |
|
| |
I thought this would be about someone preferring to wear strictly houndstooth... |
|
| |
//holding cricket bats and sledgehammers...// |
|
| |
We don't do cricket here. However, a baseball bat might do the trick quite nicely... more destructive than a cricket bat, too, due to the round shape. |
|
| |
//3mph is faster than the limit?// |
|

I did not say that, Absinthe. The idea is designed to target two groups of drivers, those who drive slowly while blasting their music, and those who speed with or without music because speeding is dangerous in residential zones. |

I think you need to take direct
responsibility - just buy a paintgun and
snipe. |
|
| |
That would be vigilanteism, which is illegal. Also, it would require getting out of bed, which the idea is intended to avoid, and could make me the target of drive-bys. |
|
| |
Well, if this is ever baked on a large scale, I
wouldn't want to be known as the inventor
of it. |

This is what pseudonyms are for, yes? As far as the public knows, it was invented by Dr. Whippersnapper |
