According to a source from the PSD, some streets of
Amman have become a haven for those who use amplifiers, which angers residents
and occasionally triggers arguments and squabbles.
The source stressed that violators could face fines
by traffic police and may be forced to dispense of the amplifiers. Penalties
could also reach seizing the violating vehicle and sentencing the person
involved to time in prison
A Ministry of
Interior official has called for mainstreaming instructions at the customs and
licensing departments with respect to such amplifiers. He said that some
motorbikes imported into Jordan are originally equipped with sound amplifiers,
and once they are custom cleared, it is not possible to dispense of those
amplifiers.
He noted that most users are youth aged 18–26 years,
calling on them to abstain from causing harm to others.
Lawyer Abdel Halim Fayez said that penalty may reach
imprisonment for a period of not less than a week and not exceeding one month,
or a fine ranging from JD50 to JD100, but can reach JD200, and some violators
may receive a combined penalty of fine and prison.
