British park bans unaccompanied men and women because they might be pedophiles
Source: The Independent
A man has been barred from entering a park because of a policy banning single men or women without children from visiting the attraction in case they are paedophiles.
Matthew Richards travelled 25 miles to see a falconry display at Puxton Park, near Weston-super-Mare, but was unable to view the show because of the rule, which is enforced supposedly to protect children.
... The ban on unaccompanied men or women in the park has apparently been in place for the past seven years and while it can be found on the park’s website it is not prominently displayed.
It is at the bottom of the prices section and is especially puzzling as the park also offers single adult membership passes.

arrest anybody who's not wearing a wedding ring? 
...is taken to the extreme. I don't know about Britain, but as I recall, most cases of pedophilia in the US are committed by family members and friends of the family, and many are married, so a ban like this barely addresses the issue.
