Lincoln, Nebraska may start “red-tagging” houses that violate noise ordinances. Quote not to miss:

Caudill got the idea from Tucson, Ariz., where police have the authority to stick red tags on what are considered disorderly houses — or properties where five or more people are gathered or where there’s excessive noise, traffic, obstruction of streets, littering, public drinking, fighting, disturbing the peace or minors drinking alcohol.

Emphasis mine. Maybe the red tags make it easier for the SWAT team to find the house when they’re called out to settle a noise complaint.
