Policing the Brighton public
Brighton Salon, Thursday 25 June, and 'protest picnic', Saturday 27 June 2009After discussing many aspects of the booze ban in Brighton last week, it struck me that many of us were thinking about how this law might be fought in a legal way. I think that bringing it out into the open and forcing the council to defend it, politically, has a much better chance of reversing the DPPO sooner than any challenge in the courts.
