MIDWAY, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn't have a business license or the required permits.
Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar says police also didn't know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it.
The girls had been operating for one day when Morningstar and another officer cruised by.
The girls needed a business license, peddler's permit and food permit to operate, even on residential property. The permits cost $50 a day or $180 per year.

Going after those harden, violent criminals... must of been a real nail biter, some real seriously dangerous police work we always hear the cops telling us about.
You know the kind of stuff that would make a Navy SEAL piss himself.
Surprising they didn’t deploy the SWAT Team...

Entrepreneurship must be stamped out.
These girls should be given instruction in signing on the dole instead.

But they should have. It’s people like these little girls who, by not teporting income for taxation, not applying for proper permits and all of their myriad other crimes against society, are to blame for the failure of Obama’s perfect plan for the economy.

Well, not so much.

Well, we let it get this far.
Now there will have to be major disruption to correct it.

In this modern time, I’m surprise the cops didn’t taze the girls and haul them to the lockup, ransack their house, pistolwhip their parents, and pump 14 rounds into their chihuahua.

And just think, there are actually people, conservative and Freepers who honestly believe the police will not obey an order to confiscate our guns...
Yet the cops will obey orders to enforce such idiocy as this....

This has nothing to do with food safety. The little girls could have invited their friends over for something to drink and no law would have been broken.
This is all about giving "the Man" his piece of the action.

Most cops are just drones. They work first for the bureaucracy, then their union bosses.....then maybe...maybe...the taxpayers.

Last line from the article:
The girls are now doing chores and yard work to make money. Look for the people who hire them to be charged with employing under-aged workers, failing to pay social security, and not purchasing workman's compensation policies.
