So who will be the popcorn police?

It comes down to how many rules, laws and regulations society will bear. People who say "there oughta be a law" (or a rule or a regulation) to control every aspect of human behavior are essentially authoritarian in their mindset.

Having too many laws is even worse than having too few laws. (But don't try to convince a legislator or a law enforcement agent of that. It's their 'bread & butter'.) It is important to realize that making or having unenforceable laws (and rules and regulations) only incites disrespect or disregard for the law in general.

Watch out. The popcorn police will probably be on the lookout for theater-goers wearing parkas in South Florida...
