Of course it holds no merit when the law is written such that merely having the capability of loud noise is an offense, and the method by which you are convicted is the police do the thing they say is bad and then damn you for the thing they themselves just did for the purpose of convicting you.

Oh I am well aware. Society takes the things you have, uses them against you, then shits on you for the thing they have just done. Thus is how taxes are born.
