Potential witnesses other than protestors -- many of whom have smartphones, I understand -- and reporters?A neat way of making sure potential witnesses stay home so they can't film the police in action, etc... or am I being unduly cynical again ?
Occam's razor suggests -- at least to me -- that it's at least primarily a well-intentioned warning to people who might not want to get caught up in rioting (not a pleasant experience, as I learned when I found myself in the middle of the Trafalgar Square poll tax riot 30 years ago).
