In America it’s more likely that we ban the use of radios in cars

No, they'll make you pay a subscription for it.

😂A scant $8.99/month for siren free radio 😆

That is, for about 2 years until they add the sirens back in and offer a $21.99/month ultra premium service with no siren sounds.

Free radio is now nothing but sirens and commercials 24/7

It's called SiriusXM and I hate it

I got SiriusXM for Opie and Anthony, then Ant was fired like 8 months later. I kept the subscription for another year or so. Now I just have a USB stick with all my music on it, but much to my wife's displeasure i only listen to one band.

On the handful of stations my wife listens to, they play the same handful of songs over and over again. It wouldn't take a large USB stick to get better content.

It's already illegal in the US.

Where? It still happens where I live in southern Ohio.

There's also this:

This is not exactly about imitating police sirens, but the emergency alert system.

I can't speak to how well enforced this is.
