Duarte To Enforce Fireworks Restrictions Including Fines Up To $1,000 The City of Duarte will be enforcing restrictions on fireworks usage for the Fourth of July, 2018 holiday. Fireworks may only be discharged on the day of July 4th between the hours of noon and 11 p.m. They are not allowed to be discharged on the days leading up to the holiday. The only type of fireworks allowed in Duarte are the "Safe & Sane"type and those that have been purchased in California.
These types of fireworks are legally sold in Duarte at five different locations starting June 30th. Remember, discharging fireworks north of Royal Oaks Drive is prohibited at any time, except for Royal Oaks Park. Both Duarte Public Safety and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will have extra patrols out on the holiday to ensure that restrictions are enforced. Violators of
the City's fireworks restrictions maybe be prosecuted and receive up to a $1000 fine and/or six months in jail. The California State Fire Marshall has decreed a zero tolerance against illegal fireworks due to drought conditions. For additional information, contact Duarte Public Safety at (626) 357-7938 or, if you see someone discharging fireworks, contact LASD Temple Station 626 285-7171.

Bill to Inform Drivers of Their Rights During Police Stops Passes Senate Committee Assemblymember Chris Holden’s bill, Assembly Bill 2918, requiring the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to include information in the California Driver’s Handbook regarding a person’s civil rights during a traffic stop, passed in the Senate Committee on Transportation and Housing. The new information provided in the Driver’s Handbook will be determined by a group of stakeholders convened by the Department of Justice (DOJ).
“The Driver’s Handbook includes suggestions on how to conduct one’s self during a stop, but stops short of stating the rights of the driver,” said Assemblymember Chris Holden. “Being informed of these rights are critical in situations that can quickly go from calm to worse.” The bill directs the stakeholder group to provide information that addresses the extent and limitations of a peace officer’s authority
during a traffic stop and the rights of drivers and passengers. This information will be developed by the DOJ and DMV after consulting with stakeholders in public safety and civil justice. “Studies show that people of color in California are most affected by traffic stops. Safety is paramount and staying informed of the driver’s rights can help alleviate stress and avoid escalations caused by being on edge,” said Holden.
