I side with the cops on this one. You can’t just open up business in a park. Even if you are a kid.
Another little hitler telling kids what to do.
This should be encoraged, not discouraged.
Open up the parks for bike rentals, boat rentals, food vendors.
Drop this licensing crap. Let the buyer beware.
I tend to agree. What are the laws in this municipality? If they are onerous, change them. Otherwise comply with them.
This is what happens when legislatures and governing bodies go unchecked, they outlaw kids selling lemonade, etc. FWIW, two 13 year olds sounds like they were just trying to make a quick buck, but if they can’t do it legally - they need to stop.

Not to mention that foul sugary unhealthy yellow liquid young kids want to sell for a quarter a cup along with their crudely designed signs with some letter written backwards....
Then you are a fool who doesn't know the meaning of freedom. Children are not adults and they do not pose a threat to other businesses and certainly not to any of the other reasons that licensing and permits are required. The main reason most businesses need permits and licenses is MONEY, revenue to the city and the state and the feds. In some cases licenses are required in order for "journeymen" to keep others out of their trade. Most permits and licenses are unnecessary and hurt small business people.
