Yet panhandlers are allowed to walk out into traffic on freeway offramps and in major intersections no problem. Ditto the illegals trying to sell roses, oranges, avacados, grapefruit and christ-knows-what-else all over the damn place around here.

This city wanted MONEY, not safety. If they wanted/cared about the kid's safety, they'd have simply gone to the parents and said, "hey, we don't want to make an issue of this, but have you considered the fact that the intersection where your daughter is working her stand is potentially hazardous?"

Nope, their first thought was to whip out the ticket book and the "you will respect my authority" attitude.

One reason I can't wait to get the hell out of Kalifornia. Logic and common sense has taken a back seat to mindless bureaucracy and over-proceduralization of everything from birth to death to how you take a crap (inclusive).
