[Vision2020] Thanks!...and now to the new NO and CC

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Garrett,

If the NO is to be changed, then it seems to me that there has to be a clear 
standard for what constitutes a violation, and it should NOT be left to the 
individual officer's discretion.  While Pat Kraut argued that officers 
should not have to carry a decibel meter, setting a clear standard is the 
only way to try to ensure that the law is evenly applied.  Otherwise 
citations will be given out arbitrarily.
