## Resource

Manteca police are going high-tech to stop illegal fireworks, deploying drones, marked/unmarked cars, and in-vehicle cameras to catch violators lighting sky-flying fireworks — a major no-no in California. With $1,000 fines that can arrive days or weeks later, authorities are serious. Drones capture footage tied to specific homes, then the Fire Marshal issues citations. While some residents support the crackdown and opt for legal, nonprofit-backed displays, others are watching closely — and there’s a process to appeal if wrongly cited. The goal? Safer celebrations with fewer illegal fireworks and fewer fines — all while letting the fun continue responsibly.
