During our County fair parade, I sat on a curb for the photos. It gave an interesting perspective that is normally reserved for little kids. I also walked around before the parade started and took photos. Another things was I was literally at the first corner of the route. That way, there wasn't anyone "upstream" to the floats. (Make sense?) I was able to get some good shots that way. Most of the corwd was at the town circle where the bands stop to play, so I really stayed clear of the main crowds.

The idea about asking the cop was a good one. I would definitely suggest trying that. Also, find out who is putting on the parade and see if you can't get "official." It's worth a shot and you might have a chance to get either paid or published.
