The Law Explained

In an effort to enforce noise curfews and maintain nighttime peace, Baton Rouge specifically singled out the ringing of cowbells. This likely stemmed from agricultural overlap with growing residential zones, where wandering livestock—or rowdy sports fans—were keeping the town awake. Save your enthusiasm for daylight hours.
