He asked us to remove any movies that we had that were on that list. I did so immediate- ly and then I signed the list. These movies were stored in the back room and never rented out again.

"How can this be allowed? The police gave me one list of what is considered obscene. Then they allow an of- ficer to make his own opinion after they set precedent by giving me that first list of which we removed any of the titles we did have. Why not a second letter asking me to remove more movies that they have found to be obscene? Instead, a warrant stating other obscene material."

In a June 27 column, Ms. Callwood points out the Durham arresting of- ficers had just completed an obscenity course pro- vided by Project P, the combined Metro Toronto Police and Ontario Pro- vincial Police squad that, to quote Ms Callwood, "guards the province's morality "A complaint against Mr Hoffman by a woman who works in a rape crisis centre provid- ed this officer with his first opportunity to test his new skill at determin- ing what is pornographic by consulting a list," Ms. Callwood wrote.

Said Mr. Hoffman, "I don't figure I've done anything wrong. Why should I decide what peo- ple should see? No one died and made me God." In the meantime, Jim and his wife Valerie both desperately want a child to call their own and they're acutely aware that the conviction might put an abrupt end to their dreams of adoption. No matter what the end result of his inter- view with the Attorney General, Mr. Hoffman will keep on fighting. -- i HIP TT BT i g di il do lt pa AE RS fd i 3 2 " AR A SG IR ra Sn - AEH ty .
