HRS §291-24.6
Fines for car alarms that keep ringing
This law says a car alarm that keeps sounding for more than five minutes can get the car's registered owner a fine. The fine goes up if it happens again. Police must give the owner a ticket for this.
The statute, as written — Motor vehicle alarm systems
(a) "Motor vehicle alarm system" means any device that is designed or used for the detection of an unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, or for alerting others to the commission of an unlawful act, or both, and that emits a sound when activated.
