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.

...COMING SOON TO AN AMERICAN CITY NEAR YOU!
You've seen it work in the airports, as suspecting federal employees shake down grandmothers and elderly in wheelchairs. You've seen former servicemen proudly wearing the American Flag have their property searched. Yes kids, now it is time to be arrested or fined simply for being in a public park.
This will make me think twice about going to the local shopping mall again, given the age of the average shopper.
