Police told to stop knocking in doors

KEBUMEN, Central Java: Tourist officials are appealing to the
police to be more discrete in conducting raids against illicit
sex at local hotels.

Adiasto Narendroputro, the local tourist office chief, said
police should not simply push in doors and storm into rooms, but
should ask for permission from the hotel operators to check the
rooms.

In one recent raid, police arrested 15 unmarried couples,
including teenagers, Antara news agency reported.

"The security approach may be necessary, but the police should
act wisely and avoid harming the tourism here," Adiasto said.
