    AntiSocial Behaviour Orders

    if you behave in an antisocial manner you can be given an ASBO which is notable as an ASBO is a criminal conviction which means that the (typically teenagers) who recieve them then have a criminal record for behavior which commonly never actually broke any laws.

    it's excessive criminalisation of public life

        no it's more criminalizing stuff like being generally obnoxious which while annoying isn't actually against the states interest as it's just too small potatoes.

        it's weaponising the police and legal systems against problem members of the community in a way that takes them out of the community and places them in the courts and makes it harder for them to move past these behaviors later
