We have the same issues in Iowa. All fireworks are illegal here, but people drive down to Missouri and stock up and drive back. I then have to spend the two weeks around July 4th listening to my stupid neighbors blowing up the neighborhood. Don't get me wrong, fireworks are a blast. But the idiots who think it's cool to blow up the place every night at 9:30 while my daughter is trying to sleep need to seriously get a life. Go out to the middle of the damn country already.

Your neighbors may be inconsiderate asses, but that hardly justifies sending police officers across two states to observe people making legal purchases and then confiscating their primary mode of transportation without trial or any legal recourse.

I think a noise violation fine would be more in order.
