I hate to be a stinker, but are police really spending of a lot of their time dealing with noise complaints downtown? Maybe they are, but if dealing with noise complaints is such a big deal that it's actually worth noting by a city councillor, then I'm going to suggest there might be some issues down at the department re: prioritization of calls.
I'm not disagreeing that there would be noise complaints. I'm sure there would be. When a flea farts after 8pm (anywhere, not just in Victoria) you can probably expect a noise complaint from somebody. I'm just surprised that police would actually be responding to noise complaints downtown unless the circumstances seemed suspicious or exceptional, etc. It doesn't quite jibe with personal experience, I'll put it that way.
