Newport Beach police want to be able to brand party houses with a scarlet letter--they're asking the city council to consider the Loud and Unruly Gathering Ordinance, which would punish "Parties of eight or more that include drunkenness in public, excessive noise, serving alcohol to minors and public urination." Under the ordinance, police could "levy steep fines of up to $8,000 and to brand the homes of repeat offenders with prominent red notices." [NBCLA]
