(AP) — An undercover police unit is among the ideas Hawaiʻi lawmakers are considering to tackle illegal fireworks. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports various bills have been introduced as possible solutions. One bill would establish a task force focused on catching illegally imported fireworks and another would create random shipping container inspections with help from explosive-sniffing dogs.  Sen. Jarrett Keohokalole introduced a bill which would create a new undercover unit in the Honolulu Police Department. He says the primary problem is that people know they can get away with setting off illegal fireworks.
