Red Dawn (1984)

Corrected entry: It is remarked that dissidents have been taken away to an internment camp and no one in town is even allowed to talk about them. However the boys (including Patrick Swayze and Charlie Sheen) stroll up to the edge of the fence and talk to the inmates for several minutes without being approached by any guards, even when the spot-light is briefly turned on them during their conversation. (00:23:25 - 00:25:15)

Correction: This just shows that the rule is not rigorously enforced. The prisoners in the camp are not considered to be much of a threat (or they would have been taken away to a more secure location, or shot), so the guards don't bother to go out of their way to stop simple conversation at the fence.
