An unborn child threatened with an ASBO? WTF!?!?

The problem, said the local council, was that neighbours were upset by the "nuisance and annoyance" caused by the young lad's whizzing around on a motorbike.

A reasonable complaint perhaps, but as his mother points out, it seems a little harsh when the boy is still in the womb.

How does an unborn baby whiz around on a motorbike? I know it *feels* like he's driving a truck around in there, but

Closer examination revealed that he had mistakenly been ordered not to be in public "without" alcohol and that he was also duty bound to act in a threatening manner likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress to others.

Almost as good as the King James edition of the Bible, where the word "not" was omitted from the 7th commandment...

The battle against anti-social behaviour is still being waged around the country as the authorities try to crack down on bad manners, abusive conduct and irritating activities.

Quote:

Police on the remote islands had to ask female residents to come forward to identify their "particularly personal items". It did not go down well.

Quote:

"The main thing" said the officer leading the case, is that "these women haven't got to see him for the next seven years".

Oh well, you don't just break in and steal knickers from someone's house. Someone must have been quite eager to see him.

Closer examination revealed that he had mistakenly been ordered not to be in public "without" alcohol and that he was also duty bound to act in a threatening manner likely to cause harassment, alarm and distress to others.

After the boy escaped punishment as a result of the misprint, the officials behind the mistake were asked to deliver a new Asbo with more appropriate wording, the Daily Mirror reported.

Perhaps I should file for my own ASBO equivalent with the local authorities?
