One of the problems of trying to enforce emissions laws or noise laws is that you have to have the proper equipment to measure it, the proper training to use the equipment and the proper upkeep of said equipment. It all costs a lot of money. In turn, you are then put in a position where you have to go out and try and hunt down enough tickets to cover the cost of all that. If you don't get the tickets then you get accused by the taxpayers of wasting money on equipment you didn't need. How do you win?
