Anti-Terror Hotline Advert Banned http://www.google.com/hostednews/ukpress/article/ALeqM5htSqzFRvjjwnOCeYQnoyIPKilwaw

A police advert encouraging the public to report suspected terrorists has been banned for potentially causing "serious offence" to law-abiding citizens, a watchdog has said.The campaign by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) drew 18 complaints, including 10 from listeners who said it was offensive for encouraging people to report law-abiding citizens who acted in the ways described. Others said it could encourage people to harass or victimise their neighbours and made an undue appeal to fear.'
