The police are wrong, you do not need a liquor license to serve alcohol to your guests. To sell it, yes. You do not need an entertainment license to play music by paid DJ on your own private property unless you are selling liquor or charging a cover charge. What is wrong with the police?
I agree with you. The police are wrong on this about the licenses, but read the article and they are not talking about some small get together with friends. The example they give are for the one’s advertised online or flyers are handed out drawing large crowds.
Frankly, the police need to simply enforce the existing disturbing the peace law and current liquor laws. They do not need to get all up the publics face about needing a licenses. Doing that is nothing but revenue generation for the city.
ditto. you beat me to it.
The function of government is to govern. "They" will take what "we" will relinquish.
They’re doing exactly what their masters expect of them.
