Three girls trying to raise money to go to a waterpark thought that a lemonade stand would do the trick. But then they met the long arm of the law — their local police chief.
The girls had started up their stand in Midway, Ga., when Police Chief Kelly Morningstar and a deputy drove by.
"They told us to shut it down," 10-year-old Skylar Roberts was quoted as saying by
The Coastal Source news website.
"It’s kind of crazy that we couldn’t sell lemonade," added 14-year-old Casity Dixon. "It was fun, but we had to listen to the cops and shut it down."
Morningstar defended his action and received the support of Midway's mayor. "We had told them, 'We understand you guys are young, but still, you’re breaking the law, and we can’t let you do it anymore,'" Morningstar said. "The law is the law, and we have to be consistent with how we enforce the laws."
That city law requires a business and food permits ($50 a day), even if the stand was at the home of one of the girls.
Health issues were also a concern, Morningstar said. "We were not aware of how the lemonade was made, who made the lemonade, of what the lemonade was made with, so we acted accordingly by city ordinance,” he said.
News of the bust caused
an outpouring of local support for the trio — and The Coastal Source said it had given the girls tickets to the waterpark.

I know right? funny because you are laughing at what a loser the cop has to be to pull something like that and pathetic that 3 little girls can't sell lemonade in what is supposed to be a free market.
THIS
Hheheh trolled.
But come on, you do know how dumb cunts are these days. Maybe they just added some extra elements in it, DO NOT TRUST KIDS. I don't mind them being prostitutes but I can't stand by and let little girls sell lemonade.
Anyway, it's a free country. And Pakistan Zindabad, you un-patriotic yahudi
Pakistan can suck Obama's nigger cock and blow the Queen, I don't give a rat ass about it .
PK is a shithole ATM
If only cops weren't too busy being lemonade stand busters, they could be putting bullets into innocent bystanders and ticketing parked cars for missing a front licence plate:rolleyes:
That's why you start a private "club". For every $0.25 donation to the club you receive a free lemonade in return... Call it the "Lemonade Collective"...
