I don't know what country you grew up in, but this is America. Lakewood Park is a public park, and it is illegal for police to conduct searches of bags and containers for reasons of "public safety". We have a fourth amendment, if police request or attempt to search your goods, tell them they do not have your permission to search anything. If the insist and detain you, you will find a long list of attorneys willing to filing lawsuits in Federal court system. Local and state government are no longer protected by a bias internal court system.

What is sad, is that people actually make a very good living off of police's ignorance who violate their constitutional rights.

I thought the fireworks were mediocre at best. Kept seeing the same 10 fireworks 20 times. And the grand finale was a dud :roll:
