Granted, there is something creepy about someone who is intently photographing other families’ children

I agree and think the key word there is ‘intently’. Shouldn’t parents have a little more discretion about who they get mad at? Can’t they tell the difference between a dad taking pictures of his kids and the soccer game in general or someone taking wide shots at a beach and one creepy pervert taking many pictures of a specific child? I think that’s where the issues come in.

Thankfully, we’re more at specific parents asking people not to take pictures, which is their right. I don’t think they should make any more dumb laws about this though.
