Singapore Workshop owner gets jail, fine for illegally modifying motorcycles' exhaust
SINGAPORE: A 48-year-old man was on Thursday (Jul 10) sentenced to six days’ jail and fined S$11,000 (US$8,600) for illegally modifying three motorcycles’ exhausts.
This is the first time a jail term was obtained for illegal modifications.
Good! No one wants to hear that obnoxious loud shit.
I really hate reading about poor people getting jail for shit like this while almost everyone running America is a felon right now.
Amazing. I wonder if we will ever see this is less civilized countries.
This wasn't just like installing a straight pipe and bypassing emissions regulations, this was a vendor who applied for a license to sell these parts and then just didn't wait for approval to sell the parts multiple times.
So he sold parts he wasn’t allowed to sell without a license, that he didn’t have. This outcome shouldn’t be shocking to anyone. All he had to do was wait for the license like anyone else who applied.
And in particular, this product is a vanity computerized exhaust that almost certainly has at least one setting that violates Singapore's new noise restrictions, and possibly the emissions standards.
While even 6 days of actual jail for three motorcycles (and maybe that's all they could prove?) hits me as a little harsh, it also seems like the sort of thing Singaporeans have always dealt with for offenses that affect the QoL for other people. Not saying it was "justice" per se, but this is not the hill to die on, and it seems this guy fucked around and then found out.
And throw away the key
