I think the whole idea of getting a barber shop a “proper” government permit in order to be allowed to cut someone’s hair for money is absolutely ridiculous. It used to be that an inspector from some local government bureaucracy would walk in and inspect a place of business to check on permits and such. Now, they send in a small army, tell customers to leave, shut the place down indefinitely, handcuff the employees, and search the place. Upon finding out that the business does have the proper licensing, and that there is no evidence of criminal activity, they let the employees go free, and the place can reopen.
That’s exactly what happened at several barbershops in Orlando, Florida a few years ago, and the barbers at Strictly Skillz sued the Orange County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD) for excessive force. Apparently, the state’s Department of Business and Professional Regulation teamed up with the OCSD in cracking down on unlicensed hair-cutters. I can’t think of anything more important than that. Something’s got to be done about all those criminals cutting hair without government permission!

Was this really necessary? A military-style raid over a business permit at a small business is the very definition of excessive.
We are ready....

Only the government should have guns, right?

Government run amok! Just another symptom of the disease.
My wife cuts my hair also. A very close buzz cut all over my head kind of like a Marine recruit’s. I just got tired of the hair.
That’s my approach to getting rid of gray hair - I cut it off and throw it away.
Are your papers in order?
Wow, I just shaved my entire head two days ago without a permit.

Where is the Liberal crowd who whine about people asking for the “Papers Please”?
(Cricket noise...)
Oh it is SIN to ask a individual for an ID at a voting booth to prevent the usurpation of our Republic system of government, but A-OK to ask a Business for “PERMITZ PLEEZE”

I have never completely uderstood why liberals and conservatives could not get together on these and similar issues. Now that the “law and order” element of the Republican party have apparently farted into their last sofa cushion, it would be worth trying.
Look for the Union Label!
Many units of government have these SWAT teams and obviously not much need to have them so to keep the brown shirts busy they use them to do mundane stuff like permit inspection. This is the beginning of a police state.
