Berbice minibuses are still playing loud music at ear-damaging decibels and refusing to turn down the volume at passengers’ requests. The police must now go after them and let them face the judicial music in front the same magistrate. Confiscate the speakers from the minibuses.

Go by the seashore and play your loud music. And don’t litter the beach. Keep it as clean as you do in the UK.

I guess the magistrate is hinting that he is old & tired and needs to retire. Poor judgement. It’s surprising that police respond. They don’t usually,unless you are friends or you gonna “pay De police passage”

Georgie, what you mean by the people not gainfully employed at that time? What if it was a Sunday or Saturday? Why was the noise maker not gainfully employed too? People need their peace and I am sure Budram and his Georgetown relatives are not deaf. He should have been fined five times that amount.

Georgie there are lots of people like nurses,security guards, policemen etc who do the night shift and are therefore like the rest of us day jobbers, entitled to a bit of peace.

Reddy ! Disturbing the peace between 11.30 am and 12.40 pm ? You got to be kidding me . The neighbors are not gainfully employed during this period ?

These magistrates need to maintain some kind of consistency when remanding ppl.This man was remanded till sentencing and ended up paying a fine and then you have an alledged rapist who hung himself out on bail.

He forget to tell the magistrate that his relatives are all deaf !

These men have no sense of responsibility to others , so if he turn down the music , his relatives can’t hear it ?
He really got a big house , maybe he’s at the front and they at they’re at the back , so he had to keep the music loud for them to hear . Lol.

Perhaps Brijmohan Budram represents a “soft target” and was singled out for legal action. It is interesting to know what method the police used to determine that Brijmohan Budram was creating a noise nuisance. Indeed, what is music to some is noise to others. Personally, I abhor the pitch at which “music” is played in mini-buses and without any hesitation will classify it as “noise” but I am sure, that a sizeable population of passengers will disagree with me. Noise is defined as unwanted sound and a nuisance as a person, thing or circumstance causing trouble, annoyance or inconvenience. I think that it all boils down to a subjective evaluation and needs a bench mark to distinguish noise from music. It is acceptable, that a sound level that exceeds 70 dBA is classified as noise. This means that an instrument (sound level meter) is required to measure sound intensity before a determination is made.

I hope that the same judicial treatment will be handed down to all noise nuisances regardless of any strings, ropes, chains or other connections/’protection’ they may have.

I can understand his explaination to the Judge, and if it is true and this is the only instance of this violation, then he should have been given a warning by the police and let that be the end.

What a load of BALONEY! Give a warning then a ticket, and then to be remanded to prison for playing loud music. What a JOKE !

I wonder why he was remanded to prison for such a small infraction. Others who have committed worse crimes have been granted bail.

It is about time that the law come down on these noisy people. More of them needs to be penalised. They have no regard for others, not to mention loud music have been used as cover for robbery.

The Police arrested and charged the fellow, for noise nuisance, maybe they should have issued a tix. and focus on solving and preventing the crime in Guyana more.

A good story but fine should have been much more and equipment confiscated for a period to send strong message to others…
