This is now illegal and the criminals are still at large.

It’s “No lemonade for you!” in East Hampton, where a sourpuss neighbor put the squeeze on the drink stand Jerry Seinfeld and his family had set up for charity, resulting in this goofy “arrest.”
The roadside business was selling cold drinks on hot days to benefit the group Baby Buggy, before it was shut down for violating a village prohibition on peddling.
“Lemonade dreams crushed by local neighbor but not before raising lots of money for @loverecycled. Thanks to all of our customers and big tippers!” Seinfeld’s wife, Jessica, wrote on Instagram.
An accompanying photo shows Jerry, son Julian and two young pals standing with their hands behind their heads.
Police Chief Jerry Larsen told the East Hampton Press that cops got a complaint about cars parked illegally at the spot, and that the Seinfelds were told their philanthropic efforts weren’t permitted under village law.
Jerry couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday.
poor Jerry, material for a sequel?
Officer, only the swift application of your nightstick will save us from certain peril.
This is now illegal and the criminals are still at large.
Newman!
We can’t have private individuals raising money for charity. it will undermine the government’s efforts to fund, and thereby control, them.
Libs only behold dictatorship when it happens to them personally.
I bought that book for my son years ago! It’s truer now than it every was!
Well, I know I feel safer now.
Snoopy and Prickly Pete are not amused.
Jerry almost didn’t even have to write Seinfeld.
New York more or less writes this material all by itself.
Seinfeld has enough money and awareness of how business is run, so that he could easily do this legally. Just get a food handlers’ permit, and set up shop where this action is permitted. It’s not hard. It’s tedious and annoying, but hey, that is the world we now live in, deal with it.
Police Chief Jerry Larsen, Juice NAZI
Nanny State PING!
He ought to be called ‘LEMON HEAD’ from now on!...................
I remember when you didn’t have to have the government as a partner in a lemonade stand.
How about we make the laws such that they fit the people they govern? Just because something is legal doesn’t make it right. Abortion is legal. Blood and Honor laws in Germany were legal. Why do you need a permit to marry?
Lol.
