Arrested for Selling Lemonade – That’s Absurd.

Arrested for Selling Lemonade - That's Absurd.

All Charges were dropped against those arrested in this video: cdevolution.org According to Capitol Police, it’s illegal to sell Lemonade on “Capitol Grounds” without a permit. Permit being a fancy for, “you can’t unless you pay us first, allow us to regulate you and cut us in on a portion of your profit (they’ll call that tax). This past weekend local DC area activist, including several from Virginia CopBlock, went out to “liberate lemons” by setting up their own lemonade stand (see video above or this UStream by Meg). more at www.copblock.org

    @riddleman65 since US “law” is a worldwide joke and just a tool for criminals who want to commit their crimes behind a uniform or robes without fear of penalty, I don’t see why you worship it and grovel to it.

  5. Iraqgenocide2 says:

    DeptofFakeLawsEnTrapment apparently works for Mexican drug cartels like many that infiltrate the corrupt US police and “justice” department.. and the “we” he keeps referring to is clearly a criminal drug gang. He should be taken into custody and investigated for money laundering and drug smuggling.

  6. Iraqgenocide2 says:

    @DeptOfFakeLawsEnTrapment hey, shut the hell up up, CRIMINAL IN UNIFORM, child abuser. it’s your type who should sentenced to max security for life in a dark pit filled with sour lemonade that should never see light. “tax evasion” myass, you don’t have a right to know what she declares as tax at the end of the year and the pitiful amount she gets now is none of your damned business. also better think “long and hard” about declaring yourself as “we” since that means you’re also in with terrorists

    @jamesludwig She was trying to prove that police are over stepping their authority, and she did.. among other things.

  8. DeptOfLawEnforcement says:

    Lemonade stands are illegal in America because the stands kids peddle their contraband from are an unregulated industry.
    Unless kids want to spend time in Juvenile Detention they should know earning income without taxation is a criminal act against IRS code and therefore MONEY LAUNDERING; a felony in all fifty states.
    If we had our way, we would send their parents to prison for a good while and let them think long and hard about their criminal acts of tax evasion by selling lemonade illegally.

    Except for banksters who steal trillions, free commerce and lawful earning of poverty-level income shall not be tolerated.
    Illegal-aliens and prospective welfare recipients are welcome to join our union, however should anyone, whether legal citizens or not, choose to start any entrepreneurial endeavor, the subject will be arrested on felony charges and detained at an incarceration facility as punishment for the crime of terrorism against the established rulers of law…
    Poverty will be enforced.

    Put a spin on it…don’t “SELL” the lemonade…just ask for a “DONATION” of $X. See what the response is then.

    one thing on my bucket list…..punch that fucking woman cop in the face

    @pilus87 Unfortunately, you can’t tell them that, or anything for that matter. You can’t reason with people like this, because they think of you as the enemy and nothing else. Anything you tell them will just be met with childish and smartass comments. They’re just ignorant and have no grip on reality.

  13. slwh111 says:

    The CopBlock crowd knows the laws, so I would find it hard to believe they didn’t know they were violating an ordinance. It’s not about lemonade; it’s about them being stupid and not cooperating. I’m sure they intended to get arrested to get attention. They actually think they’re proving some kind of point. They should all just grow up. All they’re doing is make fools of themselves and being a pain in the ass.

    Arrested for selling lemonade? Give me a break. These idiots are doing nothing but being smartasses and taunting the police. Go to 1:03. The female officer tells the douchebags selling lemonade there is no vending on capitol grounds. That would be a city ordinance. The cops tried to be polite about it, but were taunted and ignored by these idiots who think the police are some kind of gestapo.

  15. Jogimotion says:

    Now you know what Police is all about…and how you are treated in a police state..!!! You just need to slap these retards few times so that they can come to their senses.

    dude that chick cop was kinda hot.. ?cougers ^_^

  17. dumpsterdan57 says:

    10 cents a cup is probably a zero profit enter[prize, anyway.
    The bitch who kept putting her palm into the camera should get arrested for assault!

  18. stabystaby says:

    was there a formal complaint filed against the lady cop for hitting the camera 3 times?

  19. Thinkmachi says:

    As soon as I get off parole I promise the people I will distribute food to the homeless and offer lemonade for free.

    im so fucking disgusted with my country lately…

  21. yinzjagoffs says:

    @pilus87 If there are only a hundred buyers why would there ever be a thousand lemonade sellers, dip-shit? You want order? You don’t even understand how the natural organic order of free-market even works. Looks like someone when to Public (Government ) school.

  22. pilus87 says:

    @yinzjagoffs go do something much bigger, but on this vid, its anything but about government hold over the market, it’s about order and the effort to keep it … fucktards …
    if there is no order, there would be a thousand lemonade seller, and less than a hundred buyer in that park … fucking fucktards … dimwit, bastards, fuckheads, shitheads

  23. pilus87 says:

    i seriously don’t understand what are they trying to proof …
    that they can’t sell lemonade on public property without being arrested ?
    it a fucking public property for fucks sake … everything needs permit, and order …

    just go fuck yourself in some remote island … gahhhh ….
    if I see you people around my neighborhood I will beat the crap out of you guys myself …

    please, come to indonesia, where women got gangraped in a public bus, and they’re being blamed about it …

  24. DTRAVELZ says:
