Can officers immobilise a vehicle if it makes excessive noise?

Correct answer

Yes, when the noise exceeds the permitted levels.

Yes. Article 104.1.h of the Traffic Law permits officers to immobilise a vehicle when it exceeds the regulatory noise limits for its type. Someone finding it annoying alone is insufficient: the statutory condition must apply. Other grounds have their own requirements, such as section g overcrowding or section i rational indications of manipulation; mere intuition is insufficient.
