Same law in my NJ town. It’s not on shoveling - the law prohibits ANYONE from soliciting ANYTHING door to door without a permit. It’s meant to reduce scammers, etc.

The sad thing here is - someone likely called the Police on the kids. I doubt a cop in Bound Brook (not far from me) would even realize what was happening unless they were tipped off by a cantankerous resident.

A few summers ago, some kids set up a lemonade stand, outside the local park. Some busybody called, because their table “encroached” upon the sidewalk.

Sheriff’s Deputy rolled up, explained the situation, and helped the kids move the table onto the grass. His final act was to buy a cup of lemonade, from the kids ;)

Like a town selectman who had the DPW workers clear his snow.

Mr. Plow called the cops.
