A critical and often amusing look at Mr. Family, the anonymous Luzerne County Pa resident who is trying to close down adult establishments, he deems undesirable. Mr. family solicits people on line to take pics of cars parked at these adult establishmensts. But Mr. Family has run into several problems. the pics are of a bad quality, and the local news media has deserted him. Like a B movie , he has become an unintentional comedy.

Photographing strip club patrons leads to camera theft, arrests
By Joe Winter
Many people likely have thought about taking photographs of various patrons as they leave Centerfolds Cabaret.
Last Friday night, Dawn Larson actually did so.
When she clicked the first of her photos while positioned on the sidewalk in front of the strip club, two men apparently weren't amused and allegedly grabbed her camera and took off running. Larson ran after them, cell phone in hand, telling police the turns made in their flight through the downtown, according to police reports. Near Dick's Bar, the two Minnesota men were arrested and handcuffed, reports say.
However, it's the issuance of another citation that makes the story even stranger.
Larson returned to her vehicle next to the sidewalk by the club and started taking more pictures. She says she was trying to capture on film a man who during the previous summer had threatened Larson's daughter and some of her friends. Larson, having heard the man hangs out at Centerfolds on weekends, hoped to show her daughter the photos and see if an identification could be made.
Larson's return to take more photos apparently is what got her a $129.50 citation for disorderly conduct.
She said an officer told her that such an invasion of privacy would not be appreciated by patrons and could incite more troubles.
When asked why she was taking pictures, reports state that Larson would only say, "Because I have the right to take pictures (on public property) don't I?"
The male subjects said Larson "came up to them suddenly and put an object into their faces," reports say. When a flash went off, the men realized it was a camera, but until that point weren't sure what the object was, they said. They thought it might even have been a weapon. One of the men admitted he was angered by Larson's actions.
Larson said in an interview that she was not confrontational and stayed further than five feet away from the men. Upon returning, Larson said she shot photos from her car and did not use a flash.
The Minnesota men, Brian D. Bogotty, 43, of Cedar and Timothy R. Arnzen, 42, of Deerwood, were cited for disorderly conduct. Arnzen also was cited for theft, which carries a $283.50 penalty. Police reports list the time of the incident as 10:17 p.m.
It was an instance of alleged harassment on the Apple River that led up to Friday's altercation. Larson said a group of men refused to move a truck that was blocking the path of Larson and several youth volunteers, including her daughter, who were enjoying a complimentary tubing excursion. Later that day, as the group of volunteers floated down the river, two of the men threatened members of the group and exposed their private parts, Larson said.
She got their photograph as they harassed the young volunteers and when hearing the men are regulars at the strip club, decided to get another photo, match up the two pictures and try to establish an identification, Larson said. She wasn't able to get another photo of the men encountered at Somerset, although she suspects they were at the club that night and may have left during the chase through the downtown.
Larson said that she was motivated by her daughter's fear that she might encounter the men if she went downtown and that her daughter did not feel safe traveling there.
