Everyone is a predator in Miami.

from the article:

"People have the right to be where they want to be,'' Couch said in an interview. "But as a mother of two little kids, anything to keep my kids safe is all right with me.''

Made me rage so hard. 'Oh hey, I'm going to acknowledge a valid point and then totally disregard it because THINK OF THE CHILDREN'

Great, another law that prevents innocent people from enjoying the services their taxes provide because some soccer mom doesn't feel like taking care of their own children. Why do people tolerate this?

not really gender specific, only in the context of greater "ground level" gender bias in sex law convictions.

but still a stupidly reactionary and questionably constitutional law. It's this kind of "THINK OF THE CHILDREN" stuff that puts innocent people in jail and in the sex offender registry all for the sake of some extra votes for being "TOUGH ON CHILD MOLESTERS" and "PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN", while actual crime rates are virtually unaffected.

This does not bode well for people that like to walk in parks. From the article, it says it'll only be for playgrounds. But big parks often have playgrounds. Am I going to be arrested for taking pictures of the scenery in a public park, a half mile away from the nearest playground?

Beginning Sunday, anyone 18 or older could face a fine -- or at least get shooed away by police -- if found in a Miami Beach playground without a child.

So, if you're a predator, the rule is:

"Bring a kid, take a kid."

Just don't show up without one.

New playground rules: No lone adults

Intended to protect children from predatory adults

Fuck your politically correct neutral language.

Anyone 18 or older could face a fine -- or at least get shooed away by police.

Meaning the wrong kind of adults, that is, those with a penis, will face a fine and proper kind of adults, that is, women will be shooed away by police.

Brasseye - apparently it was a how to guide!

I agree 100% the rule is a bad one.

I do however question the sentiment in your headline. I see this logic often. "Oh they think everyone is a predator". Well no, not really. Not any more than by locking your car you must think that all pedestrians who pass by are thieves.

In other words, I agree the law is an unnecessary precaution, but I just find fault in the title is all.

The only person you have to worry about in Miami is Dexter. And that's only if you're a killer.
