[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 171877, member: 1697"] uh well, LOL, there IS a limit here, they are simply illegal. Some are illegal for my state but the rest are illegal by my county or town. So- the limit is that they are not allowed AT ALL. BUT it can be difficult for the police to keep up with tracking down offenders. Most people do not call and report them (I don't, becuz it does little to no good) and even when people do complain to police, by the time the limited police respond, the offenders are done and noone can "prove" it was them. and when you add in that the police were busy directing traffic out of the park from the professional display, the police really could not get to ALL the people that were shooting them off, anyway. I think last nite was the most I have ever seen going off here in town, tho, EVER. And many of them were rather large and elaborate. Thankfully, my paper did not report any injuries or fires, altho my patio has scorch marks on it today. If caught and if convicted, I am not sure just what the fine or consequences are here. I'm thinking Occupational Therapist (OT) could be like $500. That alone is deterrant enough for me, I have lots of other things I would rather spend $500 on, LOL. [/QUOTE]
