UNPERMITTED STREET VENDORS RUSH PIER! POLICE REGAIN CONTROL

[@chriss-ju7jv]

In case anyone's wondering, a vendor permit only costs $158 for an entire year. The drink carts sell their drinks for $12 each drink, there is no reason for them to not have a permit. It also wouldn't surprise me if they didn't pay taxes on any of the income. If they're not going to bother with a permit, why would they bother to pay taxes.

He says they’re just trying to make a living. Yes I obviously know that, but let them start a business and compete with the local restaurants so you pay taxes at least.

[@machtnichtsseimann]

Personally, I like the personality, accessibility and cultural variety of street vendors. But, the more significant points revolve around regulation, paying taxes ( like the rest of us ), and under-cutting law-abiding restaurants and cafes. I'm with you in terms of making them pay up like their competitors do, but let's be fair here, they are running their own business as well. Respect to them for doing the work to survive.

its happening in a lot of places. to much honestly. many are NOT individual owners bigger group own them. People paying rent, licenses, passing inspections and then you get yelled at for not supporting a street vendor. Reason why many were booted out of santa ana but now pushing their way into other areas. Full on taco stands. Glad to see this. Saw a few years back, little girl and her lemonade stand at the corner by her house and police preventing her because she had no license. smh I cant stand the people yelling, " what t F*&^" because they are NOT listening to the cops and somehow its the cops fault. People never cease to baffle me in todays times. I dont care he is a kid, you play the kid card wtf. LEAVE. I know 2 mexican taco places, paying rent, license, meeting health inspection codes and hiring people. What makes these people not obey the laws? This isnt mexico seriously.

[@pennypackmtb2542]

"They're kids" Doesn't matter who brakes the law, but having your kids do their dirty work, makes their guardian also responsible. Resisting, eluding and running from the cops is also a crime. The consequences needs to be greater than the worth of the risk. Bring a garbage truck and get rid of that stuff. If they are aloud to leave with the carts they will return with the carts.

[@ChaoticBean794]

so should the same be for kids that put up a lemonade stand?

[@pennypackmtb2542]

@@ChaoticBean794 Good question. Why do you ask? Are you looking for my opinion on the issue or just a hypothetical question? I know Alexis Lemon Aid stands require a permit, because kids are raising money for an organization. So if money is being raise for any enterprise, incorporation, business and earns over the price of a permit then yes. I do not believe children should be use as a way around paying taxes in order to make a living. If a child is just doing it at THEIR OWN WILL in order to have some spending money, then sure. But drink at your own risk. The authorities should also have the finial call, be aloud to inspect and investigate when encountered.

Arrest and fine them and take thier carts like you do cars and impound them, and have to pay to get them back.. then send their info to IRS to see if they have been paying taxes on their sales. City, state and Fed taxes like everyone else has to do business. What if you get sick from their food how are you going to find them to sue for med bills due to their contamination. Permits have all the info for a reason, but law breakers to get here don't care about laws. Lets Go Brandon, thanks for the illegal invasion of our country
