Multiple Choice

Max operated a movie theatre in a small community and, because of financial problems, decided to show pornographic movies. The citizens were outraged when they learned about the change and demanded that the police close down the store. The police refused, saying there was no law against it.

Which of the following accurately describes Max's legal position?

• A) He must close down the theatre because the town council has the power to require him to conform to such a provision.
• B) He must close down whether or not the town council has the power because, once it is clear that the standards of the community designate a particular business as offensive, that business cannot be allowed to continue.
• C) He can obtain a court order to stay open because the town council had no power to make such activities a crime.
• D) He can stay open but cannot advertise in any way to promote this activity.
