Cops Fight Crime, Shut Lemonade Stand

What a bunch of bullies:

Police in Georgia have shut down a lemonade stand run by three girls trying to save up for a trip to a water park, saying they didn’t have a business license or the required permits.

Midway Police Chief Kelly Morningstar says police also didn’t know how the lemonade was made, who made it or what was in it.

The girls had been operating for one day when Morningstar and another officer cruised by.

The girls needed a business license, peddler’s permit and food permit to operate, even on residential property. The permits cost $50 a day or $180 per year.

One girl, 14-year-old Casity Dixon, says the three had to listen to police and shut down.

I'm beginning to think civil disobedience is not such a bad thing. I'd love to see every family on that street open a lemonade stand at the same time and then dare the cops to come and shut them all down...with the local media filming in full force.
