Enforce the laws we have 

To the Editor: 

 

The solution to the problem of loud car stereo systems lies in enforcing existing state law, rather than passing a new city law (Daily Planet, Nov 12). 

Section 27007 of the Vehicle Code states, “No driver of a vehicle shall operate, or permit the operation of, any sound amplification system which can be heard outside the vehicle from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being operated upon a highway....” A highway includes any street.
