A Sacramento-area Black woman was accused of selling drugs from her bicycle to her clients in an area park while what she was actually selling was hair extensions and hair products.
Ronnie Marie Paiva, who owns Marie's Luxury Hair Extensions, was approached and berated by the unidentified White woman who claimed the interaction "look[ed] like a drug deal."
Paiva calmly explained she was able to vend from her business however she wanted, but the White woman simply continued on.

People weren't buying what the false accuser was selling.

"I don't care what it looks like," said Paiva to the woman, all while being filmed by her client. Paiva then picked up all the packages to show the woman it was just hair, despite the woman still insisting it looked like a drug deal.
Paiva then responded the woman should call the police if she was so concerned, and she'd been running the business for over 7 years and paid over $50k in taxes.

The unidentified woman then insisted Paiva should be doing the vending from her house and not in a public park.
Paiva responded:
"Because I can. It's a public park. Do you own the park? Can people pick up here? It's just a pickup."

Eventually, Paiva was able to complete her transactions despite further warnings and protestations from the woman. Paiva held strong, and continued to deflect the woman's "concerns."
Paiva posted a follow-up to the incident:

The gatekeeping self-appointed park patrolwoman in the video remains unidentified.
