If police are allowed to censor movies what more can they do?

"Police Censorship of Smash Edo film goes Nationwide

Police have intervened across the country to censor 'On the Verge' an
independent documentary about a campaign to shut down a Brighton
weapons manufacturer. So far establishments in Southampton, Chichester
and Bath and Oxford as well as Brighton have come under police
pressure to cancel film showings. In Brighton police intervened to
prevent a showing at the Duke of York's Cinema.

Staff at the Arthouse Community Cafe in Bedford Place, Southampton
were approached at 11 a.m (Weds 19th March) by police accompanied by
licensing officers. Threats were made concerning their licensing if
the film, due to be shown on Thursday 20th was screened. Jani Franck
director of the Community Cafe said “I grew up in South Africa and
this feels awfully familiar. This has nothing to do with protecting
the public this is nothing but censorship”

Sussex Police initially denied involvement in the decision to cancel
the screening at the Duke of York's cinema, with Chief Inspector
Taylor telling the Argus newspaper that “Police played no part in the
controversial cancellation”.

Excellent news! Thanks for posting it Duhg - I fully approve of the
police blocking pretty much anything you'd promote just on sheer
principle!

Can we have the statistics you "forgot" to post to back up your claim
that there are more motorist red light jumpers than cyclist red light
jumpers. Oh, and while you are at it, please provide evidence of the
political motivation of those teenagers who rammed the police car.
Thanks.

I was dismissive of your post yesterday, but this new information
casts a disturbing light on the whole matter. I am appalled to hear
that the police sometimes take action to enforce the law. It is
horribly reminiscent of the story last year in which the police took
action to prevent unlawful collection of money, in breach of charity
laws, for animal rights protests. Clearly, the police should not
enforce any law against any group of whom Doug approves.

I can't believe the old cunt is still posting absolute crap in usenet. I
take it he does not want a big audience?

Put it on the torrent sites Mininova, Pirate Bay etc. then so we can all
see it! Shouldn't be a problem; if the producers weren't charging money
then they should be happy for their film to be distributed free via the
internet.
