“Yeah, illegally selling water without a permit,” the woman said in Austin’s video, which was initially posted on her Instagram story.

Austin later posted the video as a post on her Instagram with the caption: “an 8-year-old selling water in front of her apartment building where she’s lived her whole life is NOT a reason to call the Police.” She also called the woman “#PermitPatty.”
