Photograph kids in a Cork playground? You're obviously a paedophile. (1 Viewer)

[pete]

IN an effort to target paedophiles, Cork County Council is drawing up new bylaws which will make it an offence to take photos of children in playgrounds.

The bylaws, which are going public consultation and will initially be implemented in north Cork, contain 34 stipulations, one of which outlines who can use cameras or video equipment in public playgrounds.

The draft document states "no person, unless they are a member of a family, shall operate, or use a camera, camera phone, video or any other media device in a playground without authorisation from the council".

However, the local authority itself reserves the right to install video cameras in order to monitor anti-social behaviour.

The gardaí will also be permitted to use recording devices if they so require.

Fairly sure most kiddy fiddlers are or have at some point been "a member of a family". Also fairly sure it's easier for them to go pick up some kids clothes catalogues.

Paedos have moved on to using those 3D cameras now. Why not just legislate for those?

It makes it look like the council is doing something, when they're really doing fuck all.

Sounds great at election time, I'm sure.

I know thats a "rule" in most swimming pools for good reason but on a playground it starts to get ridiculous.

This is how it's been for a while all over Europe (France came damn near to banning street photography 100 years after they invented it) we had a lecturer in college that showed us some of Cartier Bressons work solely dealt with children and it's wonderful (Google "cartier bresson children" you'll see what I mean) he went on to argue that in the future there will be no photographs of an entire generation of children as the digital prints done on the home printer are produced too cheaply to last and the law has now made it illeagal to photograph children in public. It's utterly ridiculous.

just as well nobody's invented zoom lenses

Just as well kids from cork are all pug-ugly, potato headed, freckled, in bred, freaks.

That should get some righteous indignation started.

someone needs to stand up in the chamber in cork county council and ask the respected councillors if they really believe that the sort of material paedophiles beat themselves silly over is kids playing in a playground.

you can get better stuff than that on nickelodeon.
