I read a recent story about creating bills to stop illegal fireworks coming into Hawaii’s ports by inspecting all the containers at the docks. This would be OK if you had a staff of 1,000 inspectors doing 100 containers a day.
My suggestion is to simply ban fireworks entirely, that any citations or arrest can be made without the need to see a culprit lighting illegal fireworks before making an arrest since it would be a banned entity.
If there are religious groups that utilize fireworks in their beliefs, then a simple permit for that cause can be issued.
