    I don’t get it. In germany, where I live, it’s illegal to make noise at night, so they’d just get the police.

      Apparently the police were there. With their sirens on. To make noise. Lol.

      In germany, where I live, we also have the freedom to assemble. if two rights collide, the answer is not always easy. A quick google gave me an example of people comlaining about a noisy midnight demo, and the police stating that the freedom to assemble overrules the right of quietness at night. Of course the police is not the final judge of this, but at least it shows that things are not as clear cut as you make it sound.

        In America, they’d probably just tell him to get rid of the drums, and arrest him if he didn’t comply. Maybe.

        There’s about an equal chance they just bomb into there, throw him around, destroy his drums, and drag him to jail, and leave his busted up gear behind to get stolen.

        Depends entirely on their mood at the moment.

      well ideally the police are also doing something about the domestic terrorists holding up in their city, so…

      There are noise ordinances in America too. Timing, volume, and enforcement vary by location. This guy probably would not last long before cops stopped him.
