Title: Fun police? Montreal man says he was given $149 ticket after singing while driving

A Montreal driver says his passionate rendition of a cheesy 1990s pop hit has netted him a $149 fine.

On Sept. 27, Taoufik Moalla was on his way to buy a bottle of water, happily singing along to C+C Music Factory’s 1990 song “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” when he says he heard a police siren blaring behind him.  

“I was thinking they wanted to pass, but they called on the speaker, ‘Please go to the right side,’” Moalla told CTV Montreal. “I stopped and four police came, two on each side, and checked the inside of the car. Then they asked me if I screamed. I said, ‘No, I was just singing.’”

Moalla said police checked his licence and registration and then came back with a $149 dollar surprise: a ticket for screaming in public. According to a Montreal bylaw, “to cause disorder by screaming” violates “peace and tranquility” and can be punishable by a fine of $50 to $1,000 for a first offence and $100 to $2,000 for subsequent infractions.

“I don’t know if my voice was very bad and that’s why I got the ticket, but I was very shocked,” Moalla said. “I understand if they are doing their job, they are allowed to check if everything’s okay, if I kidnapped someone or if there’s danger inside but I would never expect they would give me a ticket for that.”

Moalla said his singing wasn’t particularly loud: “just if you are happy and you like this song.” And while he thought the situation was more than a little crazy, he said he managed to keep his calm.

“I said, ‘Okay, thank you,’ because I know I can contest the ticket,” he said. “They were doing their job.”

Moalla says he has done just that and is now waiting for a court date, which could come in as much as a year. Once in front of a judge, Moalla simple plans to recount how he got the ticket.

“Imagine if the Canadiens won a game,” he said. “All the fans are going to scream out of their cars. They’re going to sing. Are you going to give them all tickets?”

Moalla’s wife, however, said she wasn’t surprised that her husband’s vocals netted him a fine.

“She told me, if it was for singing, I’d have given you a ticket for $300,” he said.

A $149 ticket….eh.

I cannot help but wonder how much the ticket would have been had he “taken a knee” while “driving and singing.”

A year? Wow! I guess Canada also has single-payer traffic court.

I always loved that song. Sorta made me.......,want to dance. NOT a pretty sight.

I always wondered if that female singer is the same woman that used to sing "DANE TO THE MUSIC!" with Sly and the Family Stone. Same kinda funk,and they sure do sound alike.

In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.

DAYUM! The cops heard him singing INSIDE his car while they were following him in another car????

That dude must have some serious lungs on him.
