Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Florida

The bar owner is responsible for the fines, not you personally. If your name is on the tickets you should contest them. You could ask the bar owner to indemnify you (he holds you harmless, and he pays the tickets). For the future, I would have a written indemnification agreement with the bar owner. It's really not your personal responsibility if you were acting in the scope of your employment and for the business.

I assume there is a noise ordinance on the island that says something to the effect that the operator of the business (or whomever is in charge of the volume control) is responsible for the noise. I also assume a violation resuls in a ticket to criminal court. If that's the case, then Ms. Grosse's answer may not apply. You are responsible for the fine or whatever sentence you receive. If the new ordinance is constitutional (have you challenged it?), then what else can I say but stop breaking the law. What's happening may not be right, but you can't keep getting tickets. You can't work at a place that requires you to break the law. You'll end up in jail eventually, especially if you can't pay the tickets.
