This Fourth of July, California police are buzzing skies with drones to nab illegal fireworks users—cities like Riverside are using aerial tech to catch violators, record evidence, and issue citations, turning a once-elusive problem into a targeted crackdown. With 15 fireworks-related deaths last year and countless injuries and property fires, the move is about safety. Drones, now legal and widely adopted since 2025, are transforming law enforcement: 1,500 agencies nationwide, 58 in California, are deploying them for everything from patrols to emergency response. So as sparks fly, know you’re being watched from above—safety’s got a new altitude.
