Recognize the act of celebratory fire into the air on the 4th of July, should be a fine/warning not disorderly conduct.

Created by D.R. on November 30, 2015

Celebratory fire on the 4th of July should not be classified as disorderly conduct with the enhancer being the use of a dangerous weapon, let alone a recommended jail sentence. If at all there should only be a fine or warning given and a clearly stated policy to be followed by all. If a person is in a rural area or an urban one, one should not get a free pass and the other taken into custody ( lets say both the urban and rural area of celebratory fire were surrounded by a wooded area) These double standards should not be here. We can assume that under certain circumstances such as the one outlined here, a fine or warning would suffice.
