Question: What trouble would you get in for setting off fireworks?
Answer: You could be charged with various misdemeanors such as criminal mischief or disturbing the peace. If your fireworks caused any damage to property, you could be charged with destruction of property. There are also state and municipal ordinances which ban the use of fireworks unless it is done by a professional licensed company. The worst case scenario is that the use of fireworks injures another person. In that case, assault charges may be brought.
