Happy 'Getting Booted from the Commonwealth' Day

Well, on that night, emergency calls escalate 100% because of idiots that set them off in fields of dried brush or densely-packed neighborhoods. church parking lot you say? the cops were like, "meh."

That's pretty much the impression I got last night, while set up in the top of the parking garage in town to photograph them for the paper...I had my police scanner on, and **** was flying everywhere...sirens, people being towed, people using fireworks to do 'drive bys'...not an easy night for the cops to say the least.

Fireworks are illegal in many parts of the US, including here in Maryland. However, almost all of the police ignore this fact on our Independence Day. Last year I watched some fireworks being set off in a school baseball field, and there were police officers there watching it because they wanted to see.
