Description: The protesters at the Park Plaza began this morning at 7 am. The residents in the surrounding buildings have been listing to drums, cymbals, vuvuzelas, air horns, and whistles for over 12 hours a day for 2 weeks. To be clear, the government is allowed to impose time, place, and manner restrictions on free speech. The Noise Ordinance is such a restriction and applies to the protests. For the past 2 weeks, residents have submitted noise readings to the City of over 100 decibels. This is well-documented. BPD has confirmed that City Hall and Mayor Wu told them not to enforce the Ordinance. The Ordinance was passed by the MA legislature, and Mayor Wu does not have the authority to tell BPD not to enforce the law. The noise is a public nuisance and seriously impacting the health of residents and their ability to live and work in their apartments. The City at least owes the residents, as constituents, an explanation as to why their concerns, their families, their livelihoods, and wellbeing are being sacrificed as collateral damage. Enough is enough. | Case (SR) Type: [BPD: Quality of Life] Referred To: [POLICE: AREA A-1]
