The police can act under EPA laws and charge the owner of the vehicle for making excessive noise (not to mention smoke) on private property. I was recently reading the judgments from a case at the supreme court of SA where a young woman was playing loud music in the early hours of the morning on a weeknight and refused to turn down the music. The police were legally allowed to enter her house and arrest her and she was charged under laws relating to the EPA.
I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up charging the guy in this video under EPA laws, not to mention that you can be charged with dangerous/reckless driving on private property anyway so that's probably why they confiscated the car. Don't underestimate the power that the police have been given via the laws & regulations of the EPA. |
