It’s not the Pennsylvania police, it’s New York police that are doing it: “Since 2005, NYPD undercover squads have been targeting fireworks shops in Pennsylvania. Cars with New York plates are followed until they cross into New York – often on Staten Island – where the occupants are arrested. Their cars and cargo are impounded.”

State Troopers do this as well periodically, though not as often.
