I wonder how much this guy already paid for that bench in tax money.

Good job it was a bench, not a deckchair, or the German would have stolen it, like they do on every summer holiday.

If Bloomberg/Davis hear of this scam, they will probably try it in NYC/Calif to get more revenues.

Wow, this is madness. I hope this doesn't spread to the UK. I don't have any children to hand at the moment for chaperone duties. It would suck if I couldn't sit in the park anymore without borrowing the neigbor boy or girl.

Evidently this law was designed to avoid the police having to "profile" park visitors. It would be soooo wrong for the cops to peg somebody as a prostitute or drug addict and shoo them out of the park. So they make it illegal for anyone to sit on a bench without a child present.
With such "zero tolerance" laws and regulations in force, it's no wonder that "Common Sense" committed suicide.

I happen to like this idea... the playground area of the part limited to children and the adults bringing them there to play. As long as signs are properly posted in that specific area, why is this a terrible intrusion? I would guess there are many other benches throughout the part that aren't next to the playground and the fella certainly wouldn't need to hang around for any length of time to see if his daughter would like it.

Looks like we're headed that way, too. Basically, every adult is a "predator" and must feel guilty just for being an adult.
