I see way too many trashy people setting off commercial grade illegal fireworks in the middle of crowded cities and neighborhoods. It is incredibly disruptive and damaging. Vets are traumatized. Dogs are traumatized. And sleep deprived parents have to repeatedly put babies back to sleep. It is insane that police do not enforce laws against these criminals.

Not that I've known a ton of people who work for local police departments, but the majority of the ones I have known are exactly the type of people who are likely to partake in illegal residential fireworks around the 4th of July.

we have multifelons (+10 arrests) running around and committing new crimes -often killing- in nearly all major urban centers.

What makes you think police are going to pay heed to teens with heavy pyrotecnic ordinance ?

And even if they did, would the DA prosecute ?
