SMThe guidelines are here http://www.acpo.police.uk/documents/finance/2010/201006FRPTB01.pdfor to summarise, yes as tax payers we pay for public policing of our streets (and roads). What we dont pay for is policing of any events, commercial or non-commercial, it is up to the discretion of the relevant police force as to whether or not they charge for these. So music festivals, cycling events, marches, protests, etc, there will most likely be a charge.
