Depending on where you live it has probably happened to just about every one of us, I know for me it is almost a daily occurrence living in the city. Maybe you’ve had a quiet afternoon walk or a private conversation (in your home nonetheless!) interrupted by loud music blaring from inside a passing car, that unmistakable thump thump of a sub-woofer in a trunk, just rattling to get out.

In an article put out by the AP, Andrew Vactor was cited by police for playing his rap music too loud and was given the opportunity to reduce his $150 fine down to just $35 if he spent 20 hours listening to classical music. The article mentioned greats such as Bach, Chopin, and Beethoven as Vactor’s “hard time.” He lasted only 15 minutes before having to scoot off to practice for his University’s basketball team. Vactor claimed it wasn’t the music just the time conflict. Perhaps this unconventional punishment could have future success… barring any extra-curricular activities of course.
