"Sometimes the police warn a crime could be comitted, a lot better than waiting till after a crime is comitted imo"

Indeed. Far better to make sure nobody is "offended" by an innocent signboard than it is to catch burglars and muggers. A much better use of (what we are told are) "scarce resources".

at least (for now) the butcher didn't have to pay to be told that he might have passers by rushing for their safe space and their assistance guinea pigs - in future that service could cost him £200 a month.

//Yes, well done the police. After ten years they've nipped this one in the bud.//

Not really nipped in the bud, he’s not been told he can’t continue with using his 10 year old sign or even stop the innuendos, just to consider what he writes on it

If I were him I would be very grateful to the police for all the extra free advertising and publicity. Many thousands of extra people have now heard of him and his shop.I expect his trade to double at least.
