CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. — A politician in a New York suburb called police on two 13-year-old boys for selling cupcakes and other baked goods without a permit, according to a report Monday.

The Journal News in Westchester County said the boys, Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff, had a brisk business selling cupcakes, cookies, brownies and Rice Krispie treats for $1 each in a Chappaqua park.

However, New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn called the police after discovering the sale was not for charity, the newspaper said.

Kevin's mother, Laura Graff, said the teens were "good kids" who were scared by the police call.

This kind of stuff is utterly ridiculous.

I love street food. I never see it around here because no one can afford to put a commercial kitchen into their home, which is what it would take to produce it legally.

There are times the law is counterproductive. This is one of those times.
