Go Skins Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/01/28/teens-seeking-snow-shoveling-cash-run-afoul-law/22454761/ BOUND BROOK, N.J. — School was closed for the blizzard that wasn't, but there was still enough snow on the ground that two high school seniors thought they could make a few extra bucks. In the process, Matt Molinari and Eric Schnepf, both 18, also learned a valuable lesson about one of the costs of doing business: government regulations. The two friends were canvasing a neighborhood near this borough's border with Bridgewater early Monday evening, handing out fliers promoting their service, when they were pulled over by police and told to stop. The story was shared on a popular Bound Brook Facebook group by a resident who saw Schnepf being questioned by police after coming to his door. "Are you kidding me? Our generation does nothing but complain about his generation being lazy and not working for their money," he wrote on Bound Brook NJ Events' page. "Here's a couple kids who take the time to print up flyers, walk door to door in the snow, and then shovel snow for some spending money. And someone calls the cops and they're told to stop?" Members of the group responded with support for the young entrepreneurs. Bound Brook, like many municipalities in the state and country, has a law against unlicensed solicitors and peddlers.

Khatmandude Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 what a joke.. At least they have the police working on some important shit... Right.... And it's not like they're running an unlicensed business....they're looking to make a few bucks this particular day, or for a few days while the snow lasts. Next thing you know, they'll be arresting 15 yr old girls who babysit for running a daycare without a license. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschooler Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 We're losing our collective minds a little more each day as a country Proof .... A small school in northern Texas is under investigation by its superintendent after 20 students were apparently forced to drop their pants so that staff could inspect their underwear. The students at Gustine Elementary in Gustine, Texas, were subjected to partial strip searches Monday after staff repeatedly found feces on the floor of the school gym. Boys were taken to one room and girls to another, and then they were ordered ”to pull down their pants to check them to see if they could find anything,” Maria Medina, a mother of one of the children, told ABC-affiliated WFAA 8. Her daughter, Eliza, was searched. The school has defended itself, acknowledging that school strip searches are a bad idea, but saying that students were only requested to lower their pants a small amount. Eliza Medina, however, says it went far enough to be objectionable. “Like… to where your butt is,” she said. Her mom says that any level of pants-dropping is unacceptable, and wants people to lose their jobs to make that point if necessary. “If you can’t do your job or you don’t know what you’re doing, you need to be fired. You shouldn’t be here,” she said. Several parents are apparently planning to attend a school board meeting on Thursday to protest what happened. http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/28/texas-school-submits-children-to-underwear-inspections/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
