Police State: Cops Shut Down Seven Year Old's Lemonade Stand

Police in Tulare, California shutdown the lemonade stand of a 7 year-old girl because she did not hold a permit or registered location. The girl and her family appealed to city council and have drawn media attention since.

  1. Young aspiring entrepreneurs should be encouraged not discouraged.

    Sometimes, I wonder if you have to have a certificate in meanness to work in some of these Governmental departments.

    Well, at least the little lady got tickets for her trip in the end.

  2. Good! I want to see all businesses of seven-year olds shut down until they get a permit issued by a central authority such as the one I work for.

    If I had my way, you'd need a permit by me to run this blog. We're working on that one.

  5. Anonymous,

    I can undertand what you are saying, but I have stopped at stands run by adults in order to buy something and their hygiene was questionable, the same can be said about some restaurants too.

    It's all well and good saying a person, kids or otherwise need a permit, but some people just get a buzz from being in control of others, huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf. i personally find that so annoying, take these types of people away from their high positions of authority and they are nothing.

    Anyway, basic hygiene can be taught to everyone regardless of age.
