    The appeal was allowed in part: having balanced the seriousness of transporting 2,083.7 kg of fireworks in an unsuitable vehicle against the appellant's guilty plea, clear record, family and financial circumstances, the court suspended the magistrate's seven day imprisonment for one year and imposed a $5,000 fine to be taken from bail as appropriate mitigation while preserving public safety and deterrence.
