This thread is off topic for this newsgroup.


if you want to get their attention, and protect your kids, point a gun at
them.

Now thats a real P&S solution.

I guess pointing a gun at your kids would get their attention, but protect
them?

In California, and most other states, vehicles must stop for pedestrians
in the crosswalk.


He wasn't asking about the law, he was asking for evidence of "wrong
doing". Got any?

Also, I'm curious why you don't show license plate numbers and drivers'
faces.


I was advised against it.


Then from where will the "shame" come?

The "shame" is in Scharf's claim that this website is "World Famous". This
man is a legend only in *his* mind, that's at leat one person who thinks
highly of him.

In June, I started this project, but school was almost out. Now school
has started again, and I've begun adding to the site. Now my kids are in
two different schools, so I should be able to get even more photos, and
I'm hoping to get other people to send some photos in as well. I've
splurged the $8 for a domain name: "http://drivetoschoolhallofshame.com"
.

That's nice. But your photos don't prove anything.

By whom? We do have the First Amendment.

A real conversation stopper, I really did it this time. Guess it was kind
of....... negative. So, lets just say good luck pointing camera's and trying
to do good..

The point really is that just carrying a dSLR (as opposed to a small
camera) is an intimidation tool against these drivers (this was the
original subject of this post). You'd be amazed to witness the change in
behavior of some drivers when you raise the camera and point it at their
car; you can read their mind, "why is he pointing a camera at me?
should I go or stop? oh, I'm supposed to stop so I'd better stop).



Seems to me you are being watched carefully by attentive parents: they
see some kook with a camera in front of a frickin' school. Are they
supposed to think glowing, warm, thoughts of you? They simply have no
idea, nor are likely to care about what you may say -- their bayesian
prior is that you are a _threat_ to their offspring. Sooner or later,
as unjustified as it may be, you will have to explain your presence to
a cop. What evidence can you present to him that you are what you
claim, as opposed to his likely view that you are just some closet
pedophile who is using stop-sign 'violations' as a cover for taking
pictures of kids? But hey, it's your life: carry on!



I, and I presume many others, understand your point. However, unless
the possession of photographic equipment (and it's usage) near public
schools is prohibited by law and posted by signage immediately adjacent
to the public thoroughfare, his admitted usage of his photographic
equipment within the context of this thread cannot be reasonably
construed as a violation of any criminal statute.

Constitutional egg cracked. And your welcome.
