Several Golden State municipalities are attempting to get ahead of wild Fourth of July celebrations this year, offering cash payouts up to $1,000 for residents who report neighbors popping illegal fireworks.
Police argue fireworks that are not “safe and sane” pose a fire threat and negatively affect veterans, livestock, pets and noise-sensitive people.
The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office earlier this week announced a cash reward of $500 “for information that leads to the identification and arrest of individuals possessing illegal fireworks with the intent to sell them.”
The department also warned that unpermitted fireworks in unincorporated areas of the County were also prohibited.
The strict policy comes as a massive fire sparked by fireworks burned down a historic feed & grain building in Templeton, Calif., last Fourth of July.
This year the city has imposed a “zero tolerance” policy for illegal fireworks, while “safe and sane” alternatives will only be allowed to be popped on the Fourth between the hours of 12pm and 10pm.
The Paramount suburb in Los Angeles County is offering two different rewards: $500 for “tips that lead to a citation for use or possession and $1,000 for tips that lead to an arrest for illegal sales,” according to The Los Angeles Times.
The LA suburb of Maywood also announced it’s offering “Up to $1,000 for tips that lead to a citation,” based on a Facebook post from the city.
Police in the suburb of West Covina east of Los Angeles are similarly offering a $200 reward for any community member that “notifies us that fireworks are being used or have just been used.”
West Covina police note, “You do not need to be a West Covina resident to be eligible,” and that “Only one reward is provided per incident.”
Law enforcement agencies in various cities, including in Chino and Santa Maria, will also employ drone aerial surveillance to “immediately locate any illegal use of fireworks.”
While Californians are understandably wary of fire, rewarding snitches who report neighbors seems antagonistic to the spirit of freedom, especially as revelers gather to celebrate America’s semiquincentennial.

…West Covina police note, “You do not need to be a West Covina resident to be eligible,” and that “Only one reward is provided per incident.”
I would like to claim my one reward for a incident.
They looked like teenagers, can I get that reward like you stated?
Well, CA just sued the fuck out of one of their largest electric suppliers: Pacific Gas and Electric from wild fires. I can see why the risks outweigh the reward of stupid ooooos and aaaahs. Some people come from war-torn countries that witnessed women and children being shot from rooftops with sniper rifles and real explosions rocked their homes. I think it is childish for private individuals to setoff fireworks, actually. It’s just dumb. Leave it to professionals.
And I’ll say this right now: who the biggest dumb a-holes in the world are-the Tannerite blower uppers that shake other people’s houses several hundred yards away. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen: cracked foundations, etc.
What a bunch of cuckold retards 🥴
So do you watch as your husband “APrisoner” gets boned up the ass by your various cubicle mates?
You should stop eating poop than you won’t have all of those logs inside of you, Alex.
Honestly, I don’t care as I would no longer waste any $ on fireworks the way things are in this country economically.
So what if it is illegal aliens (who have lot’s of cash) lighting off the fireworks? Would you call then for the $1K reward?
