Police powers 'to protect ads, not Pope'
Commissioner Scipione says the legislation, passed by Parliament last week, does not give police any special security powers.
He says the power to search pilgrims and evict them from World Youth Day events next July are ordinary police powers, and other features of the legislation are designed to protect commercial sponsors.
"It's about restrictions on things like advertising and where billboards could be placed," he said. "That's about aerial advertising."
