     The City Council bureaucratic dictatorship of the city of Amsterdam has implemented outrageous anti-constitutional rules which as result ,in the whole city with a population of a million it is forbidden to play music on the streets (wich is a traditional and normal thing going back in time till the beginning of man kind history)

   Light amplified music performed in big public squares like the Dam Square ,The Leidseplein , Rembrandtplein,Stationplein which Amsterdam was famous for over 40 years is EQUALLY FORBIDDIDEN AND CRIMINALIZED as performing acoustic music on the smaller streets and places everywhere in the Centrum of Amsterdam ,specially on the touristic circuit :
