Sorry, but the stupid one is you. The law is correct, because if one person has the right to play in the street, everyone would have it. Now imagine 10 artists playing on the same street or in all places! It would be anarchy. Musicians should have their own place, that's all.

Je vous ferai part de mon expérience personnelle chez moi à Montréal. Il est interdit d'utiliser un amplificateur pour les musiciens de rues. Par contre, le règlement municipal n'étant pas appliqué, tous les musiciens de rues utilisent un ampli. Pour les gens qui veulent manger ou boire en paix sur une terrasse ou simplement être capables de se parler sans être obligés de crier plus fort que les musiciens, c'est assez désagréable. J'aime la musique et comme tout être humain normal, je ne pourrais m'en passer mais il y a des endroits dans lesquels ce n'est ni pertinent ni apprécié.

There is enough noise in the world already, it's good that there are laws in place to protect privacy. In this case, protect us from unnecessary noises booming through the streets. And you can easily ask for permission/approval to play music in the pedestrian area of any city if you're a musician or street artist. The thing is ... if you dont, you cant complain when you're told to turn it of. Otherwise every road and ally will soon be blasting music 24/7. We dont want that here.

@@rumpelpumpel7687 I think this should be decided by the residents of the nearest houses. People should not forget that they are direct power and the source of any power, including the source of police power, they should not give all regulation to law enforcement agencies, otherwise a significant part of the power of the people will be seized and people will fall into slaves. I think people there themselves are able to negotiate and call the same police if someone is too noisy. In the same case, people liked it and it was not too loud and too unpleasant, I didn’t see any dissatisfied, but the police completely formally approached the law and executed it more to the detriment than good, I cited the evidence above.

"I feel so sorry about a stupid cops from Dortmund!!!" What makes the cops stupid here? It's the law that is stupid, not them...

[@deanl0]

@@larsengstfeld6744 Do like the Romans do, that polizei all he had to do is tell Markus to just put the volume down a notch. You can feel they were on a call , a mission🚁 probably from the city central camera station. Tear down the wall ,🗿,

[@peterb110]

@@deanl0 - street music is free and allowed in Dortmund, just don't use amplifiers, that‘s all. Allas, you should also consider that not all citizens are delighted by loud sounds.

[@davidwallis2562]

Thankyou. Was really great. They can't keep the music down. We need music. God bless you. 🙏

To clear this up: The guys in blue are NOT Police. The patches on the shoulders do not fit to Police but the patches show that they work for the Dortmund community PUBLIC ORDER OFFICE (= Ordnungsamt Dortmund). This has nothing to do with POLICE. The public order office is responsible for food control, veterinary matters, foreign affairs and much more. They mainly write tickets for traffic violation. It's a shame that they told you to leave this place. We should support guys like you that make the cities more peaceful. Your music is not only perfect but also makes people smile and be happy. And happy people do not attack others.....So keep on rockin' and stay safe out there!! Thanks for making this a better world! ;-))

Love your work mate!

City where I live just passed a noise ordinance. We have several outside pubs that had live music. We aren't talking heavy metal bands at volume 11. They never played after 10pm so they were respectful. No more, now I ride my bicycle down main street and it's deserted and silent. Congrats on turning a fun and lively place into a ghost town.

From the moment I started watching you I was HOOKED - Incredible talent, Bro.

Rule nr1: Never interrupt a good musician in the middle of his song.

Marcus, I am Arab, and I love your music. I always listen to you, and I love your playing and creativity, because I play the guitar and you are our teacher. Continue, my friend, and let us enjoy following you. The fruitful tree is always hit by stones.
