In case you were wondering, and I know you were, the noise ordinance in Oakland is based on decibel level, not on whether the noise is created indoors or outdoors. The fine folks renovating a nearby Safeway are apparently unaware of this fact. My upstairs neighbor and I will be edumacating them real soon ... especially if they start jackhammering after 11:30 again, a bad habit they have picked up lately. (for instance, they didn't start the jackhammering last Thursday night till 12:30 a.m.)
So, do you think a jury of my peers would convict me for killing the guy jackhammering outside my apartment right now?
No, I don't think so either.
