Take heed, neer-do-wells, and grovel in fear of us opera enthusiasts:

MIAMI, Feb 09, 2004 (United Press International via COMTEX) — A Miami judge has devised a plan to punish offenders who play their car stereos too loudly by insisting they join him in his chambers and listen to opera.

Verdi seems pretty clement for a first offence, and second time offenders ought to be scared straight by Tristan. But three strikes and it's Wozzeck for you!
