Are those legal anywhere? If I set on off here there would be ten cop cars at my house in ten minutes
Not legal here.
End December people are quite tolerant of fireworks here, as long as it doesn't destroy things or hurts people. Some places have got quite a though reputation when it comes to the use of heavy fireworks. In a city not far from here, there are milk-churn battles every new years eve. It has led to casualties sometimes.
Police will try and prevent the illegal fireworks, imported from Germany and Belgium, because most accidents happen with that type of fireworks.
My brother used to deal in illegal stuff when he was a lot younger. Scared the shit out of my parents. Was stuff without a decent fuse. Lots of accidents happened with it, but it sure gave a bang.
