CLEVELAND (AP) — A woman caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to avoid a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children will have to stand at an intersection wearing a sign warning about idiots. Court records show a Cleveland Municipal Court judge on Monday ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to stand at an intersection for two days next week. She will have to wear a sign saying: "Only an idiot drives on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus." The judge ordered her to wear the sign from 7:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. both days.

As bad as it sounds I actually agree 100% with the judge on this one.
The downside and part I don't like is that it was caught on camera...
Not a big fan of a Police State.
For idiots or for the serious offenders like rapists and such? For people like the woman in my OP, shame definitely fits the crime.

what comes next ? whipping ?
Now, maybe. But just wait until just wearing the wrong clothes is a crime, or refusing to bow to a statue of the world ruler, or walking in the wrong neighborhood while black/mexican/christian or whatever. Camera use is a serious slippery slope and I think that they should be ditched as entirely too intrusive in a free society.

One day a 'camera' may save your life or catch the killer of your family member. Remember your words then. You do nothing wrong, then there is nothing to fear, it's that simple.
Yes, we are going backwards imo. Our society is degrading by the day. What kind of person cannot sit in their comfortable car and wait for 2-5 minutes while school children unload from a bus? Maybe if she would have hit your son or daughter, you might get a clue.

Necessary? NO! Evil? Yes! There were plenty of witnesses to the event who could have testified, no cameras necessary.
