Title: Cops Raid Little Girls’ “Illegal” Lemonade Stand, Shut it Down for Operating Without a Permit

lemonade

Tyler, TX — Last week, police in Texas heroically saved the town from likes of two young girls who attempted to open a black market lemonade stand. The girls, one 7-year-old and one 8-year-old, dared to try to raise money to buy a Father’s day present for their dad by setting up a lemonade stand in their neighborhood.

Andria and Zoey Green told ABC affiliate KLTV they were trying to raise about $100 for a Father’s Day present. They wanted to take him to Splash Kingdom.

Over the weekend, the two young entrepreneurs took to the streets with their delicious batch of homemade lemonade and began to provide willing customers with their product. Only one hour into their business endeavour, these girls had raised 25% of their goal.

However, their cash cow would be shut down not long after it started. Overton police chief Clyde Carter showed up along with the city code enforcer and shutdown their criminal operation.

The girls had violated Texas House Bill 970, or the Texas Baker’s Bill, which does not allow the sale of food that needs time or temperature control to prevent it from spoiling. Since the lemonade would eventually grow mold after being left out for days, police said they needed an inspection from the health department and a permit to sell it and deemed their operation “illegal.”

The cost of the permit is $150 dollars.

“It is a lemonade stand, but they also have a permit that they are required to get,” Chief Carter said.

crto_zoneid = window.innerWidth>=990?206278:206279;

“I think that’s ridiculous. I think they’re 7 and 8, and they’re just trying to make money for their own cause,” said Sandi Evans, the girls’ mother.

The most absurd aspect of this ordeal is that the police know it’s a ridiculous law. However, they said ridiculous or not, it’s the law and they’ll keep enforcing it.

“We have to follow by the state health guidelines,” said Carter. “They have to have a permit if they’re going to do the lemonade stands.”

Police officers can certainly use discretion and choose not to “enforce” this law for use in such an asinine application. The fact that these girls had their good intentions ruined by those who claim to protect them speaks to the level of discontent with law enforcement in America today.

The heartening side to this story is that these young girls are now learning to bypass this tyrannical system of bureaucratic nonsense. The girls said they will be setting up their lemonade stand again this weekend. Instead of selling it though, they will be giving it away, but they will gladly be accepting donations.

Hopefully next week, we aren’t reading the story of these two Texas girls being raided by the IRS for tax evasion on their lemonade donations. But in today’s police state USA, it would be entirely expected.

The most absurd aspect of this ordeal is that the police know it’s a ridiculous law. However, they said ridiculous or not, it’s the law and they’ll keep enforcing it.

"Just following orders" Hmmm, where have I heard that before?

Oh - now I remember.

Then low and behold a bunch of people got sick at Taco Bell.

Taco Bell sucked the governements ass just like you do. Then they still gave people food poisoning.

1.) Built a separate kitchen in her home.

If she had a separate kitchen. Surely no one would have gotten food poisoning.

We should take it a step further for you statists. It may be child abuse to cook for your kid in your own home. You could potentially give them food poisoning. That would be child abuse. Everyone must be certified to the level of a 5 star restaurant. Or else face prison for child abuse.

Payback in the middle of the night is appropriate for government ass suckers.

Ah, "middle of the night" ... eh?

Would you also suggest the wearing of a "glory suit" which consists of: a floor- length, solid-white robe (often decorated with a round badge bearing an insignia with across) and a white, sharply pointed hat that includes a full-faced cloth mask with eyeholes?

There was once a group in the America who administered the type justice of which you speak.

Wait, they are still around….aren’t the?

You should rectify this. Every able bodied adult in this country should have at the very least, a cheap single shot shotgun. You can pick one up for under a hundred bucks at a gun show.

I'm left-handed and looking at the Beretta ARX-100. A little pricy for a .223, but I like the ambidexterous features (so I can sell it to a right-hander in the future).

Beretta ARX-100

Nice rifle... heavy trigger pull. Beretta is famous for ambidextrous features as standard.

I'm still a fan of the AR platform.

You know I've still never figured out why someone would want to hack that stupid drunken slut anyway? There was no need he was dumb enough for 6 people.

Don't even try to make sense of that circus performance. I know -- what motive?? Who'd had *that* much time on their hands??

I dunno what was more hilarious -- yuklown's initial "outing," or the dumb months-long cover-up by the Skipper, Gilligan, and their "client." Still THE all-time funniest incident I've ever seen in the annals of forum history. It was so comical that "I-Wuz-Hacked!" spanned 4 different forums.

(Coincidentally about 6 people were involved in the "hack," subsequent fairy tale and cover-up.)

"Nice rifle... heavy trigger pull."

Yeah. I've read 10-12 pounds. And that's a concern.

But I read this article and they say different:

"Now for the trigger. Oh, the trigger! The ARX-100 has a typical military-style single-stage trigger with a medium weight pull that comes in around five to six pounds. Most of the triggers in this style are gritty and designed for function, not finesse, requiring some break-in. But the ARX-100's trigger was awesome right out of the box."

http://www.policemag.com/channel/weapons/articles/2015/01/beretta-arx- 100-rifle.aspx

Maybe Beretta changed it?

As police chief, what would you have done in response to a citizen complaint?

Have a cop cruise by buy a lemonade, tip the girls then get back in the car and drive away. Cops have better things to do than answer nuisance calls from Leftards.

How would the cops even know if she had this permit she didn't really need.

Did they get a search warrant to search her. Because under the fourth amendment you are supposed to be secure in your papers person and effects.

They can't even make you sign up for a permit. That would be a violation of your first amentment and fourth amendment rights.

They would need a search warrant first. To see if you have your permits that you don't really need.

Sure. "Hey, give me that $2,000 rifle so I can f**k it up for ya."

First I have to find someone local who even carries it. Then we can put a trigger pull meter on it.
