The Charger EV can “rev” quite loudly, but it has to be put in Park to do that. It can also produce a fake engine noise while moving, but it must be in Sport mode for that. Mike told us he had his car set to the Auto drive mode at the time because he was low on battery, and that setting keeps the synthesized sounds to a minimum.
Of course he’s going to say that. ACAB but in this case if the cop claims the car was loud that’s all that is needed. You can always put some switch in your car to “change settings to quite” and claim it was on. It’s not for the cop to prove when it was on or off. The car shouldn’t be able to make loud noises at any point. If you have this setting then fuck you.
I thought it was “innocent until PROVEN guilty”. Cop has to prove the setting was off, or that the noise was real. Putting the onus on the defendant means guilty until proven innocent.
Your reasonable doubt is that whoever is testifying it was on is committing perjury against a stranger for laughs vs the guy who actually bought a car with a noisemaker. I frankly don’t care if the depondent is a cop or some 7/11 cashier, that sort of he said she said with circumstantial evidence of possession of an actual noisemaker is the proof.
