Chapter 9 - Peace and Order

(b) Subsection (a) shall not apply to (1) village-sponsored
events or to any events conducted pursuant to conditions set forth in a village-
issued picnic license, (2) Between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m.

(c) Certain sounds are generated which due to the nature of generation, such
as random or unpredictable times of occurrence, are impractical for police
officers to assess. Where such sounds occur and cause a serious disturbance
to a neighborhood, an alternative method of processing complains and relief
shall apply. Upon written statement concerning such sound, signed by two or
more affected adult persons from separate residences or occupancies, the
Police Chief or his designee may commence prosecution on information and
belief.

(5) PENALTIES. Any person violating this section shall be subject to a forfeiture
of not less than $40.00 nor more than $80.00 for the first violation and not less than
$100 nor more than $200 for the second or subsequent violation within a year, in
addition to costs of impoundment and prosecution.

9.06 UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLIES AND THEIR SUPPRESSION.

(1) Police Officers have a duty to suppress unlawful assemblies within their
jurisdiction. For that reason they may order all persons who are part of an assembly
to disperse. An “unlawful assembly” is an assembly which consists of three or more
persons and which causes such a disturbance of public order that it is reasonable to
believe that the assembly will cause injury to persons or damage to property unless
it is immediately dispersed.

(2) An “unlawful assembly” includes persons who assemble for the purpose of blocking
or obstructing the lawful use of any private or public thoroughfares, property or of
any positions of access or exit to or from any private or public building, dwelling
place or any portion thereof and which assembly does, in fact, so block or obstruct
the lawful use by any other person of any such private and public thoroughfares,
property or any position of access or exit to or from any private or public building,
dwelling place or any portion thereof.

(3) No person shall fail or refuse to withdraw from an unlawful assembly which the
person knows has been ordered to disperse.
