The bill goes into effect Friday. But the law allows for cities to opt out of it. That means cities can ban their use. In most cases, those who are caught shooting them off face misdemeanors.
Cicconetti, who made his name by ordering the convicted to serve some of the state’s most creative sentences, said the cities that ban fireworks make it almost impossible for law enforcement to enforce violations. He sees the issue up close. Cicconetti lives in Concord Township in Lake County, which forbids fireworks. His nearby neighbor is in Painesville Township, which is following state law and allows the use.and The Plain Dealer reached out to more than 35 cities in Cuyahoga County to ask whether they would follow the new law.
“We decided to not opt out of the new law,” said Odis Rogers, the deputy chief of Olmsted Falls. “It is my understanding that many, if not most, of the cities around us chose to opt out.”“For the comfort and safety of the people and animals of the city of Pepper Pike, the explosion of fireworks within the city continues to be unlawful, despite changes in the state law,” Police Chief Karl Dietz said.
This article is so biased. If a law says you can opt out and you do, you're not refusing to follow it. You're following it.
We're all still gonna do it anyways 🖕
