Woman Ticketed For Sitting On Park Bench With No Kids

http://www.wral.com/irresistible/5029825/detail.html

Ummm.... I can understand the concern against pedophiles. But if a sicko wanted to watch a kiddie park, they'd lie about having kids/hide in the bushes/something.

And to simplify things a bit, this being a public park, does this public citizen get no right to sit on a public bench on public land.

And if she's waiting on an arts festival to start, to which the public is presumably invited, is she legal as soon as it starts, but up for a $1,000 fine and 90 days in jail if she gets there 30-seconds early? By whose watch?
