So we pick and choose which laws/rules we'll follow now? Cool. Good to hear.
If a rule/law is stupid, which this is, get it changed. Go to a city council/county commissioners meeting and make yourself heard. Get involved. Or is it more important to watch those Seinfeld reruns you're so fond of?
Bad rules and laws can be changed. All it takes is work.

A fishing permit generally states how many fish you are allowed to catch.
Here in Alaska where fishing is a big darn deal, individuals like me have to fill out where/when we catch our king salmon. We are allowed to catch so many per year, based on how healthy the population is. If you're caught with more fish in your cooler than what your permit thing says...
And in some small streams, yes one person can kill off an entire run of fish.

I buy a fishing license every year , how does that stop me from catching more? or keeping something under length?
any one with an ID can get a fishing license.

Want to open a simple lemonade stand in NYC heres what you have to do. OH but its about safety of the children lololol
) Register as sole proprietor with the County Clerk's Office (must be done in person)
2) Apply to the IRS for an Employer Identification Number
3) Complete 15-hr Food Protection Course!
4) After the course, register for an exam that takes 1 hr. You must score 70 percent to pass. (Sample question: "What toxins are associated with the puffer fish?") If you pass, allow 3-5 weeks for delivery of Food Protection Certificate.
5) Register for sales tax Certificate of Authority
6) Apply for a Temporary Food Service Establishment Permit. Must bring copies of the previous documents and completed forms to the Consumer Affairs Licensing Center.
Then, at least 21 days before opening your establishment, you must:
Arrange for an inspection with the Health Department's Bureau of Food Safety and Community Sanitation. It takes about 3 weeks to get your appointment. If you pass, you can set up a business once you:
- Buy a portable fire extinguisher from a company certified by the FDNY and set up a contract for waste disposal.
- We couldn't finish the process. Had we been able to schedule our health inspection and open my stand legally, it would have taken us 65 days.

Yes. That's pretty much the case in any state. Otherwise, any Tom, Dick and Mary could bottle their home recipes of BBQ Sauce, Egg Nog, Baked Quiche.......you get the (Salmonella) drift! It is a process that was always meant to be for our protection, no matter how convoluted the process may seem to be these days.
However, to avoid all the Health Dept stuff, it would have been easy enough for the Seinfelds to have acquired a pre-bottled or canned beverage, they could even stick their own labels on them, and resell them for profit in the name of their charity. As another posted said, Jerry Seinfeld could have made more money just selling signed lemons on the side of the road, but he still would have needed a permit.

Seinfeld’s son, Julian, and two friends set up the stand last week to raise money for Baby Buggy. Baby Buggy is a charity started by Seinfeld’s wife Jessica to provide kids’ clothing and baby equipment to needy families.

With Seinfeld making over a billion dollars off of his comedy sitcom and investments, couldn't he just make a donation from his own funds. What idiocy of him.

But if enough people agree a law sucks, then it can be changed. If there's no one willing to say it's bad, and put work into changing it, it must not be a bad one then.
