The sign says 'No parking', not 'No stopping'; stopping to pick someone up is perfectly legal in this instance, I would imagine.
Did he blow through a red or a stop sign?

This year, I've seen more people blow reds and stop signs than I've seen for the last decade. I watched a pick up truck go into the turn lane, then go straight through the intersection on a red only a few days ago.
I associate this with the habits of those emigrating over from Vancouver and Toronto. I've seen that more often there.
I agree that pick up in that pic might be OK. But if they put on their hazards and ran out, I think they're in the wrong. But the other issue as per my other post is a mostly empty parking lot on the other side. I think waiting for someone with your hazards on isn't technically allowed, but if you stopped for a moment to adjust a GPS or something, I think it's allowed (based on the parking tickets I've helped to get canceled in the last few years).
I wonder if a development of something like a fire lane/bus lane section where unattended vehicles are not allowed would help, but I think tons of schools have to do better to sort out their parking lots first.
