New York cops fine DJ for DJing
19/07/2004
A Brooklyn bar DJ became the latest casualty in Mayor Bloomberg's escalating war on clubs last month when cops issued him with a ticket for 'Operation of Sound Reproductive Device Without a Permit' (Village Voice).
Jeremy Rodriguez was reportedly busted inside Williamsburg bar Cash Checking after police heard some of his music on the sidewalk (pavement- English Ed.) suggesting DJs as well as bars and clubs are now liable to be fined under the city's increasingly tough entertainment laws.
"Just when you thought New York nightlife couldn't get any worse it does," Village Voice club columnist Trish Romano complained.
"Rodriguez, who just moved back to the States after six years in Barcelona, is probably wondering why in the hell he ever returned," she suggested.
The incident occurred days after Bloomberg announced new regulations outlawing excessive bass vibrations, with cops authorised to issue swingeing fines for noise violations based on their own judgement rather than noise meters (US$3,000 for second offences).
However, in better news for Manhattan clubland, the influential New York Nightlife Association are suggesting that they've succeeded in stalling the puritanical Mayor's 1am curfew plans (at least temporarily) in a recent posting on their website.
"While we can all breathe a sigh of relief that a 1 AM Nightlife License will not be imposed on us this year, this is not the time to let our guard down," they warn.
"In fact, it is quite possible, even likely, that the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) will revisit the issue again in the near future."

This is the kinda stuff that makes people want to move out of this country.
Don't get me wrong, I love the USA but the conservative s we have in charge need to be buried in the next elections.....unlikely, but we can dream.
..my 2 cents ;) |

I agree...I spend a lot of time in Europe for work, and it's always shocking to come home--from the "war on drugs" to the facist caberet laws, we've got a long way to go...and here's how we fix it: if each of us on here and three of our friends vote for a progressive candidate, he or she wins. Ditto for everything from the local school board to the President of the USA. We're about 150 years behind most of Europe in the progression from theocracy to democracy, and I wouldn't mind seeing things speeding up a bit :) Then again I'm sure some people think Bloomberg is good for NYC--what does everybody think? |
