City Council raises fine for loud car stereos- al.com: "The council also changed a clause in the law that had inadvertently made it illegal to listen to an iPod or a Walkman while on streets, sidewalks or parks. It's now only illegal to listen to music if can be heard from 25 feet away. Flo Kessler, a city attorney, said she noticed the original wording because her husband often listens to music while he walks their dog. 'It was a concern to me because walking the dog is the only useful thing my husband does,' she said at a council pre-meeting Tuesday morning."
