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."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?"Bound Brook, like many municipalities in the state and country, has a law against unlicensed solicitors and peddlers.LINK 4951

This is definitely my pet peeve.
 
What happened to "give the kids a break" or "let's support enthusiasm, work to better yourself, etc."
 
No, let's hold them, bash them when we can, and then complain they are lazy.
 
Why not better, give them a permit, compliment them and put them on Good Morning America!

@CBP210: Nothing happened to the kids, the cops sent them on their merry way.  Told them to come back in the morning and knock on the doors. It was the flyers that was considered solicitation. I read this on a NJ online paper  2-3 days ago. No tickets nothing, zippo, zilch.............. Thanks from this Jersey girl, see if I ever help you with cake pops again! Emoticon  4951

@thegoodwife: Don't feel bad as I am from California and I am not happy about it. I am so mad at Jersey as they have been known to disregard the Firearms Owner Protection Act and cause misery to out of Staters passing through with their firearms legally. I am also **** about this incident with this Jersey family harassed by a Jersey State Agencyhttp://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/03/19/dad-this-picture-of-my-son-holding-a-gun-triggered-a-visit-from-nj-police-family-services/

@uneasyrider: A friend called last night he lives in S.C. but is from NJ. He's going up this Sunday for a wedding and is staying with his parents. His brother called and told him I left you a coat & two shovels. His brother lives in the area and is the one to help out the parents. My friend is like I don't know if I remember how to shovel snow. I have a feeling it will come right back to you!
 
Sussex County here! We're talk snow.......... 4951

@thegoodwife: This is true , I visited some relatives in Asbury last January and I had to do the driveway and steps. There are only 2 things I don't miss about Jersey , snow and high property tax.

Also, we did this all the time as kids.  I made big bucks shoveling peoples driveways and sidewalks.  Back then we didn't have a snow blower either but we always had spending money after a storm. 4951
