From "Letters" of
The Weirs Times, paraphrased:
"New Hampshire's motto was not derived to allow out-of-staters to arrive with the notion that all recreation has to include a gasoline engine, the bigger, the noiser, and dirtier, the better.
"Noise is trespass -- it comes on one's property without notice. If noise is created to show off, to satify the vanity of the perpetrator, or to deliberately annoy people, it becomes criminal trespass -- with criminal penalties."
Seen any NH law enforcement officers with writer's cramp?

Statistics posted here [in the Forum] last month showed that New Hampshire is 9th in the US in rapes.
That the referenced crime occurred
behind the Laconia Police Station speaks volumes.
