MIDWAY, GA. — 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.

Like the popo real making it tough no matter the age!

like allyuh forget USA is the lawsuit capital of the world.

supposed the police ignore the girls and somebody buy a lemonade and end up with de runs or worse yet ecoli, whether it was the lemonade or not, yuh could bet yuh last dollar some ambulance chaser woulda be on TV talking about police negligence and looking for a payout...

it's a damn shame what happen to the girls, but that is the reality of this day and age. CYA (cover your ass).
