They didn't have the right business licenses, permits, etc.
String 'em up.
Temperatures in that city approached 90 degrees today.
Yep, I think it's a great idea to have government control things like kids' lemonade stands. Think of all the danger and risk they are protecting us from.

Police in Ga. shut down girls' lemonade stand
Jul 15, 11:17 AM EDT
MIDWAY, Ga. (AP) -- 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.
The girls are now doing chores and yard work to make money.
