"You wouldn't believe the number of grandparents that have been busted"

Well this is certainly a waste of police time... This video shows a local news story of anti-fireworks checkpoints between NV and CA. Now people are stupid for driving right into these things, and ideally they would be following the law, but it is really just a waste of time. The fact that they are busting old people and others who just want to celebrate with something allegedly dangerous (yet approved by the CPSC), and potentially charge them as felons is just absurd. But it is an easy way for the cops to look like they are stopping crime, and an easy target for politicians and soccer moms.
