I love how everyone who's against the lemonade stand keeps bringing up "What if...?".
If the girls were on the sidewalk playing with chalk or something, any number of those things could have happened anyway.
Certainly that applies to some but I am going to accuse you of missing the point and it also seems the discussion has branched into a more general discussion on law.
"against the lemonade stand"
An interesting choice of words although I am not going to read anything into it just yet but I will say people do not seem to be "against the lemonade stand" so much as arguing that legally speaking the actions of the police could well be justifiable.
As for what if that seems to be the foundation of many of the "good" laws we have- reactionary laws do exactly have a sparkling history. I will agree though some of the examples and analogies are speeding very quickly into ridiculous country.
