A friend of mine wrote the piece below. I just wonder what Mr Hargrove is thinking. Possessing fireworks gets you a ticket last I heard. Not arrested. Why would you tow someone's car over this? Do you tow their car when they have no insurance or write them a ticket? Just a curiosity.
Another thing. What about interstate commerce laws? I think a half way decent lawyer would shred this in court. That is if anyone wanted to make a scene of it.I'm not sure what Mr Hargrove is up to. Maybe he hates the Mayor who appointed him and wants to make sure that he is never elected again.
If Hargrove continues the unconstitutional practice of roadblocks and opening his mouth without thinking it through he will wind up with the permanent ire of most of Mobile's tax payers who are also the voters.That would mean that the people who voted for the guy who appointed him might not repeat their vote next time.
Mayor Jones please either educate or remove this embarrassment to our fair city.

HARGROVE: POSSESSION OF FIREWORKS ILLEGAL Body: Asked what would happen if a pseron had legally purchased fireworks in Mobile or Baldwin counties and was just passing through the city on his or her way to shoot the fireworks in a legal area where they were stopped at a roadblock, Hargrove said: "If we find fireworks in the car, the car could be towed and the person could be arrested because it violates city ordinances.
"I read this in the newspaper Sat A.M. Basically fireworks are illegal in the city, even possession. It IS by the way legal out in the county outside of the city limits. (Such as my house)
