A school is a public building. I don't have a problem with a cop going in to get the pics. My problem is why couldn't he have gone in during the day? Was he barred from doing that? If not, that's whaty he should have done, then the controversy would ahve been soley about the teacher. Or if the cops had been barred, why a public biulding isn't open to the public.

The problem is not that he took pictures in a public building. It is that he was out of his jurisdiction, used color of authority inappropriately to gain access (he was in uniform), and refused an order to present the pictures.

In most departments, he get some time on the beach or walking papers.

When you were a kid, you never got the custodian to let you in the school to get a book that you forgot? I did, lot's of times. Of course, I lived almost across the street from the school.
