Ald. Craig Schmid says car seizures are a necessary part of his bill to punish those that play their car stereos too loud. The bill has been the target of much criticism and support among city residents, businesses, and others who heard about the bill's harsh penalties in the media.
After first passing the bill two weeks ago, the Board of Aldermen sent it back to committee last Friday after dissatisfaction was voiced by the City's mayor and comptroller, both concerned about the unintended consequences on businesses and possible issues of Constitutionality.
A substitute was offered by Schmid in the Public Safety Committee on Tuesday. After some discussion and testimony in support of the new language by St. Louis police, the reworked bill was passed out of committee by a vote of 8-0.
