Apparently that is the truth with this case right here.

I mean seriously, is worth getting the police involved?

I always wonder in these situations whether anyone considers the possibility they'll be known for the rest of their career as the chief of police who personally busted three girls running a lemonade stand. Is it really worth it?

And city officials everywhere seem to fall into that trap of standing their ground when they get called on something ridiculous they've done, and defend it to a degree that makes it even more ridiculous. The fact that it was the chief himself, and it went all the way to the mayor just blows me away.

I really do feel sorry for the mayor though. What choice does he have? Look like a bit of an idiot and hope people forget about it, or overrule his chief of police and potentially strain their working relationship.

I dunno, seriously there is way too much red tape with little sale operations like this and this story is an example of how stupid it has gotten.   Every year my workplace has an employee craft fair where employees who make stuff on the side sell their wares.  Well, the state got involved this year demanding sales tax be charged and the people selling have permits.  I know its regulations but they're stupid ones. Out in my area you need a permit to do a yard sale.  Back when, you wanted to do a yard sale you just did it.

Around here, a church can't even have a fundraising dinner without inspections and permits from the health department. The end result is they either don't have dinners, or they have to rent a hall that takes a few hundred dollars right off the top of what they raise.

Same thing if your organization wants to have a booth selling baked goods at a community festival. And the real kicker there is you're required to have such facilities as running water in a booth you're setting up in the middle of the street for a few hours, to sell packaged food.

A few years ago, health officials just started targeting small fundraisers in the most heavy-handed and excessive manner possible - shutting down bake sales and the like. Absolutely ridiculous.

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.

ARE THEY THAT DUMB?!!!!
 For crying out loud, they are girls, not some kind of secret terrorist!!!

I'm glad the police are out there doing their jobs. Catching thieves, rapists, murderers, and children.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
