Tough neighborhoods over there in PA. Lawbreakers going door-to-door. Young Pa. lemonade sellers have brush with law HAVERFORD, Pa. (AP) -- Seven suburban Philadelphia children had a brush with the law for selling without a permit - selling lemonade, that is. But police say it was all a misunderstanding. A neighbor called Haverford Township police July 10 about the sales. He says the youngsters were going door-to-door and he didn't think they were being properly supervised. A responding officer told the kids they were violating an ordinance that bans sales without a permit. But Deputy Chief John Viola says the officer didn't know the law doesn't apply to anyone under 16 years old. Sgt. Joe Hagan says he has been buying lemonade from neighborhood kids for a dozen years and it never occurred to him he might be aiding and abetting lawbreakers. He met with the kids and told them they were doing nothing wrong. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead

This is what comes of not teaching officers to apply discretion in enforcement. Stupidity. |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Haverford is a suburb of Philly, so it's not close to Al or R2. |

Well, that's a relief. I was pretty worried about this streak of lawlessness invading their lives. At least now they've been warned to stay far away from there. No need to thank me. I'm just happy to help. |
