I have a problem with the "within 30 days" part. So, if a complaint is made, a warning given, the noise reduced or eliminated within 5 minutes, then 2 weeks later, another complaint on the same noise, then an arrest? The warning is valid for 30 days?

Sorry, I don't think a noise complaint justifies an arrest. Maybe a ticket, but not an arrest, IMO.

Also, is the complainant not required to identify himself? Even to the reporting officer? :dunno:

Guess Pandora's can bring in a slamming full band once every 30 days.....The complaintant will not have grounds to call the police if the smaller bands are playing......Just a thought.....

You are wrong on some things That manager is not that young he has chilled it down alot since he took it over last spring. And it is manly one person that is calling and complaing I want say that person's name. And they got alot of complaints that gator from blue Orleans before he lost that so you need to get your facts togather before you go and dog a place. And it would be good for the community if we could just get people like you to just move so us locals can enjoy ourselves. With out being scared of not being able to have fun with out the cops showing up.

Us locals are the ones that got all of these crazy laws put on the books. So why should us locals not have to abide by them?

Hey everyone, we will be there tomorrow along with many others to hopefully voice our opinions or at the very least show solidarity......Steve and I have written a song inspired by this situation and want to give it as a gift to all that support the live music scene......Please visit at myspace.com/coconutradioband....it is ironic that while playing this song at Pandora's friday night, the police showed up and sat in the parking lot......Hope they liked it! At any rate, please show up to the meeting at 4p and show your support.....And, thank you for all the involvement you have shown concerning this issue. On behalf of all the musicians, we appreciate you!!

I guess this would mean something except nothing in this country in the way of government is ruled by a democracy as a form of government. Once that basic tenet of society is realized, then you can come up with a political strategy to get things done.

Noise Ordinance

This noise ordinance is totally ridiculous. This is why everyone leaves Walton County to spend their money in Okaloosa and Bay Counties because of this ridiculous antiquated "ordinance". This is a resort community and if people can't get what they are looking for in the form of entertainment, they will quit coming, staying and spending their money. Music soothes the soul and sells the liquor (and food)! I was at a local sports bar recently on 98 listening to a rock/blues band playing and the Walton County Sheriff Deputy came in and threatened to take the owner (a woman) to jail if the band didn't shut down. It was 11:00 on a Sat. night. It ruined everyone's night, not to mention the business it cost the bar owners. Shame on you people. COMMISSIONER'S...WAKE UP.

The Pledge of Allegiance

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in August 1892 by the socialist minister Francis Bellamy (1855-1931). It was originally published in The Youth's Companion on September 8, 1892. Bellamy had hoped that the pledge would be used by citizens in any country.
In its original form it read:
"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In 1923, the words, "the Flag of the United States of America" were added. At this time it read:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words "under God," creating the 31-word pledge we say today. Bellamy's daughter objected to this alteration. Today it reads:
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Section 4 of the Flag Code states:
The Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag: "I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.", should be rendered by standing at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. When not in uniform men should remove any non-religious headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should remain silent, face the flag, and render the military salute."
