Cops Shut Down Little Girl's Lemonade Stand

Wow. That's lame. I mean, at least the city let her have her "permit" for free of charge, and I understand the police officers having to act on a formal complaint. But it's just lame, lame, lame! Why would a neighbor call this in?

Neighbors can be dicks.

I cannot COUNT the number of times a police officer has come up to our door and asked us to move a car because of a complaint by a neighbor.

Excuse me, but I don't recall said neighbor coming into our house and asking us nicely to move it.

It's not like we don't know every damned neighbor in a 7 hours radius. We've been on this block for over 16 years, and none of the neighbors in said radius have been here for any less than 8 years. And yet, they don't have the goddamned COMMON COURTESY to come over and ask us before calling the cops.

What a f*cking waste of a police officer's time and MY FREAKING TAX MONEY.
 
C&P'd:

NAPLES, June 18, 2003 - A six-year-old girl was heartbroken when her small lemonade stand was put out of business because she didn?t have a temporary business permit. A neighbor called the police and her stand was shut down.

BACK IN BUSINESS


"Gotta get ready for the sale,? said Abagail.

Even though she?s only 6 years old, Abagail prepares for another day at work.

"We like making money at our lemonade stand. We want it to stay cold so they can have cold lemonade on hot days,? she said.

A young entrepreneur who does the cleaning even the advertising. And it is paying off.

"We are making lots of tips in our tip jar,? said Abagail.

But a few days ago, Abagail and her friends were put out of business by a neighbor.

"We didn't have a permit so she called the cops,? said Abagail.

The police arrived and shut her down.

"We had to take down our lemonade stand,? said Abagail.

Abagail did not have a temporary business permit, which is technically a city violation.

"So we had to do something else to play,? said Abagail.

"I was kind of shocked because I didn't know we needed a permit for 6 year old girls to sell lemonade,? said K.C. Shaw, Abagail?s mom.

According to the city, they have to act on a formal complaint.

"Normally we don't get involved in it but once we do get a formal request we must take action,? said Al Hogrefe of the city of Naples.

So Abagail?s mom went to the city code enforcement office with wallet in hand, prepared to buy a permit.

"$35 every single time for a single use,? said Shaw.

Not wanting to be sour, the city played Mr. Niceguy.

"No we did not charge her, no,? said Hogrefe.

They did finally get the permit.

"Basically a blank check to have as many lemonade stands as we can stand,? said Shaw.

So Abagail is back in business and learned laws can be tough, even for a six year old's lemonade stand.

Shaw said the police officers who shut down the stand felt terrible, but they had to do their job. One of the officers even bought a glass of lemonade from Abagail.

In a totally unrelated story, some cockgobbler in Naples got their cars keyed, their house TPed, and their family cat shaved and painted neon green.
