  Police always expand their rights and jurisdiction when it comes to this event. Police are supposed to be servants of the law, not authority telling people what to do! There is no law saying that governments can block public roads to help generate revenue for private companies organizing and sponsoring the event.

  As for me, I think that this is a pretty spectacular photograph. "Hanabi" are hard to catch on film or digitally.

  Hanabi are had to catch??

  on a compact camera yes, but a decent camera with manual settings on a tripod its actually very easy. I find about 4-5 secs exposure on high f-stop is about where you want to be. (a low f-stop will result in the centre of the firework explosion being too bright and requires a much shorter exposure time, which you don't want) That above photo is OK, could be better with more tweaking of the settings.
