What if she looked 'shifty'? What then?
I think this law (and the breaking of it) really says something about what we have let our society become. I think that taking her photo to make her look innocent is a shameful thing.
Not the poster of the picture. I am not trying to flame you, flstf. I think that the photographer should have stopped and asked "what does it matter what she looks like?"

This law is probably supported by a lot of people. It's intent is to protect children from pedophiles. Most people probably think they are only arresting the bums, etc or like Ustwo said

Nothing like taking your kid to the park while getting eyed by someone who smells like pee and is picking through the trash looking for cold french fries.

I think what the reporter/photographer is trying to show by publishing her picture, is that anyone (even their readers) who do not see/read the park rules and take a seat on one of the benches is subject to arrest and possible jail time. Also the woman was probably wanting the publicity.
