The article implies that the Police officers immediately gave her the ticket without discussion or consideration. To my mind that would be the real complaint here. Did she become abusive and obstinate to the officer? Without those details, her case is hard to judge.

Many playgrounds here in Toronto have the same policy, and I think it's a fair one. Likely there other benches just outside the perimeter of the playground proper that she could have moved to.
