Cinemas Act 1985
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.
Change 1
14 Powers of arrest and seizure.
(1) If a constable has reasonable cause to suspect that a person has committed an offence under this Act (except section 9(4) above) he may require him to give his name and address, and if that person refuses or fails to do so or gives a name or address which the constable reasonably suspects to be false, the constable may arrest him without warrant. (2) A constable or authorised officer of the licensing authority who enters and searches any premises under the authority of a warrant issued under section 13(3) above may seize and remove any apparatus or equipment or other thing whatsoever found on the premises which he has reasonable cause to believe may be liable to be forfeited under section 11(2) above. (3) Subsection (1) above— (a) does not extend to Scotland; and (b) shall cease to have effect on the coming into force of section 26 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
