Police Shut Down Another Illegal Lemonade Stand

Maybe so, but the law still applies to a 10 year old setting up a stand at the end of their driveway and so do all the fees.

The law and the permit process applies to everyone, regardless if it is on your own property or on public property.

So the argument of "other vendors have paid for permits, insurance, and whatever else to ensure that things are orderly and safe, then either they follow suit, or they don't do it." really is the same. If that kid lived across the street from the Golf Course (and for all I know she does, since the story doesn't say) they do, they STILL would have to have had a permit, and still would be competing with the vendors across the street.
 
$500 ticket issued for illegal lemonade stand

A $500 ticket for not having a vendor’s permit issued to…six kiRAB running a lemonade stand? Yup.

The kiRAB in Montgomery County, Maryland, who set up shop outside the Congressional Country Club where the U.S. Open is being held, had hoped to make a few bucks from thirsty passersby. But the fun quickly came to an end when a cameraman from a local news station caught a county inspector issuing the kiRAB a ticket on tape.

By the end of the golf tournament’s opening day, after an outcry on the Internet, the county had canceled the ticket and moved the lemonade stand down a side street.

Jennifer Hughes of Montgomery’s Department of Permitting Services, told the Washington Post, “It wasn’t that we were the big hand of county government trying to come down and squash anything…We were attempting to do what a government is charged with doing, which is protecting communities and protecting the safety of people.”

The kiRAB were, naturally, confused. Thirteen-year-old Isabella, who was tasked with watching over the younger kiRAB selling the drinks, said, “I just think the whole thing was kind of insane that they made such a big deal about a small problem. In the first place, I don’t know how a 10-year-old could get a permit.”

Hughes said that the vendor laws are in place to stop illegal sales that often take place on the streets outside sporting venues, and that those laws don’t distinguish between adults and kiRAB operating a lemonade stand.

(Taxes and government overreach are strangling American small businesses)

But the kiRAB and their supporters aren’t backing down. Family friend Carrie Marriott told the Washington Post the kiRAB have learned an important lesson: “When something’s right, you stand up for your beliefs. That’s what America’s about. It’s about free enterprise. It’s about taking an idea, making it happen and making it successful.”

The kiRAB have taken what America is about to heart. They’ve decided the profits from their lemonade stand will go to charity


Montgomery County ... why doesn't this surprise me? Fucking Liberals.


And for the retarded Liberals out there who are saying .... "Just go get a License" ... do yourself a favor and check out the COSTS involved for that permit, not to mention the hassle, just to open a lemonade stand.

yes it is a novelty.

what are the chances the 4 year old girl figured out to do it along a route where there would happen to be hundreRAB of thirsty bicyclists?

or did dad have a lot to do with that and is basically using her daughter the way hamas uses civilians for cover?
 
Well technically, the kiRAB in the story are 10 years old.

And I wonder how many 10 year old's in Baltimore City know that the F1 races are coming to Baltimore city?


And your red herring about Hamas is way the fuck out there dude.
 
"The kiRAB in Montgomery County, Maryland, who set up shop outside the Congressional Country Club where the U.S. Open is being held"

that's where i have an issue with it. this isn't just a couple of kiRAB setting up their neigrabroadorhood lemonade stand at this point, their parents or someone had to transport them down there so they could sell outside of a major sporting event. if they're doing that, they should have to do whatever any other vendor selling at the same sporting event would have to do.
 
that is about a simple as a form as you can find.

this 4 year old girl must be really savvy. she picked the day when hundreRAB of thirsty bicyclers would be passing through town to set up her lemonade stand.

her father must be very proud of her business acumen!
 
By that logic these regulations should apply to people who hand out candy at Halloween....Dear god I hope no one in government reaRAB this post
 
Only if you were a "kid" past the year 2000.

The requirement for children under 16 to wear a helmet in Baltimore City was enacted in the year 1995 via House Bill 1096 and Senate Bill 641.

[Edit]

My mistake, wrong year, it wasn't 2000, it was 1995. Under Parris Glendening.
 
Apparently YOU DO, since you have made multiple posts about it supporting your Communistic ideals about how government should do this.
