If that Judges agenda is to not only teach that woman a lesson, but everybody reading this thread, seeing it on the news or just passing by.
I'm all for it.
No rights were threatened in this case, nor were any lost. Not one thing was unconstitutional about this sentence.
In recent times, judicial use of public humiliation punishment has largely fallen out of favor since the practice is now considered cruel and unusual punishment, which is outlawed in the United States Constitution.

Your interpretation humiliation is totally different from mine.
I think that it is good to be embarrassed by stupid acts from time to time. That there are always consequences for our actions.
It makes most people think twice before doing something stupid..

Passing a school bus while its stop sign is out is a very serious offence when I live (Canada, Quebec). Unless I am mistaking, you loose 6 demerit points (only have 15 for 2 years) and up to (2000$ fine first offence) & ($4000 for second offence within 5 years).....and that's before you go to court and get more fees. For a repeat offender like her, I would take away her license FOREVER as she is definitely an idiot and she put so many people in danger.
What she got was a joke...its like catching and releasing a pedophile and telling him not to do it again or else.......
For the record, I do not agree with violating people's rights at all but in this case that is what SHE did by making the sidewalk a danger for anyone's life.
just my opinion.

If I was a judge I would have just sentenced her to ninety days in jail for reckless endangerment and taken away her driving privileges for two years. She would have been out in about forty days with good behavior.

the police make drunk people clean up their own piss at night in busy town centers - sometimes humiliation is the only thing to make someone realize how idiotic they are. The woman is not being degraded - maybe if she was forced to strip, but she has headphones, a warm jacket and hopefully she is realizing the error of her ways, since multiple parents and court appearances have not.

regardless it was considered cruel and unusual and is therefore wrong.

A "single bad judgement call" this is not. She had a history of doing it every morning, hence the sting to catch her in the act.
Too bad it wasn't raining or snowing when she had to stand out there like the idiot that she is.
This is not cruel and unusual punishment. The punishment fits the crime. If I had been the judge, I would have taken away her license for five years and sentenced her to 200 hours of community service as a crossing guard, so she could look each and every child she endangered in the face every morning.
Sorry, but this "up in arms" post is rubbish. This woman deserves this punishment.

I love how everyone is mimicking the media like good little citizens with "The punishment fits the crime."
it should have been worse than what she got but should have been in accordance with her human rights as well

but does not warrant the blatant violation of her rights
I saw on another thread that many people thought this was grand but I find it just plain sickening.
