Episode Details

North County cities are testing new tactics to crack down on illegal fireworks—with Escondido ratcheting fines up to $1,000 per violation and deploying drones to track down offenders before they vanish. Oceanside saw a drop in complaints and even got thank-you notes from residents, crediting drones for making enforcement more efficient.

Carlsbad and Escondido are still analyzing data, so it’s too early to call these tougher laws a success across the board.
