mecalm lies about the reasons why the 6b exception in 1912 was removed by stating no mechanics were certified to conduct sound measurements. The law was worded to allow a defense of a charge by satisfying a court that a successful passing of a J2825 after-the-fact sound measurement from a participating certified safety inspection station. These stations by definition have a licensed inspection mechanic available for Class C inspections. Whether the station elected to become listed as certified to conduct J2825 sound measurements was the issue, not the availability of mechanics or individuals certified to conduct the sound measurements. In fact several certified sound engineers were available with certified tools experienced with SAE J2825 documentation to conduct sound measurements in accordance with wordings in law to satisfy a court with the scientific results. The fact that a specific defendant who was issued a summons for a subsection 1 or 3 Title 29a 1912 violaiton, MUST elect to volunteer to a sound measurement, in order for the 6b exception to be executed under the law, was not mentioned by mecalm. No known defendants ever existed. The law did not stipulate that any defendant must elect to volunteer. Hundreds of inspections stations existed. Several certified sound engineers existed. History of this 6b exception will prove two realities, 1) that no defendant ever elected to exercise the available exception in the law, 2) no Class C inspection station had any desire to provide their customers with court satisfying science, for what ever reason given. Maine people had the ability to scientifically sound measure motorcycle exhaust emissions under the parameters of an SAE J2825 procedure before the 6b exception was created by the legislature, and after. The ability to provide satisfying court evidence by a certified inspection station that hired a certified sound engineer was possible. If this ability was not true then the Working Group members who witnessed such scientifically correct sound measurements of J2825 procedures on questionably configured highway motorcycle noise controls would not of been possible. It was possible and was witness by many members and traffic division enforcement authorities and members of the legislation. Many certified Class C inspection stations had products J2825 sound measured by certified sound engineers after the Working Groups demonstration by Chris Real (owner and creator of the SAE J2825 procedure) to answer personal questions that they were in compliance of offering properly noise controlled products for sale, and with correctly written stickers. Replacement noise control devices were offered by the many after-market companies, labeled to be J2825 noise control compliant for the products they were designed to fit, as sound measured by certified sound measurement mechanics. Surely these devices and their statements of compliancy were satisfying court evidence for the 6b exception. Out of State J2825 sound measurement facilities existed that could provide affidavit evidence to satisfy a traffic court. Maines many J1169 certified sound measurement facilities had access to both the certified tools and procedural documentation to conduct J2825 sound measurements to give scientific data to a traffic court judge. mecalm lies about the reasons why J2825 was not given a chance in Maine. mecalm lies about how effective this measurement process would have effected enforcement efforts. What statement from mecalm is not a lie? What is true, is that mecalm has set back the efforts to protect Maine citizens from excessive highway motorcycle exhaust emissions.
