California man arrested for selling vegetables without a permit…

In the police state of California, even selling produce can be construed as “illegal,” a fact that one poor soul learned the hard way. Recently, the Sheriff’s Department in Alameda County has been the subject of intense criticism for arresting a man who was selling vegetables on a street corner.

As is the thing to do nowadays, passers-by wasted no time in snapping up photos of the man being handcuffed and arrested. The photo went viral, and Alameda County officials took to the web to try to save face.
