ASBOs
This topic was created in the Miscellaneous forum by Yum on Tuesday, February 17, 2009 and has 3 replies.
I recently found out about this British peculiarity and decided to share.
"An Anti-Social Behaviour Order or ASBO (pronounced /ˈ?zbəʊ/) in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland[1] is a civil order made against a person who has been shown to have engaged in anti-social behaviour."
Some examples from ASBOwatch:
"Torquay 'hoodies' - Four teenagers banned from wearing hooded tops as part of their order
Andrew Walch - A 17-year-old banned from wearing any item of clothing that restricts view of his face (February 2007)
Mark Senter - A 33-year-old arrested for breaching his order after asking a friend to lend him ?10 so that he could pay his electricity bill. A clause in his order forbids him from asking anyone for cigarettes or money (October 2006)
Graham Branfield - A 63-year-old bird lover given an order preventing him from feeding pigeons in his back garden (July 2006)
David Key - An 18-year-old given an order to prevent him from sticking up two fingers to form a V-sign (March 2006)
Vic Moszcyznski - A man who puts up a display of Christmas lights each year to raise money for a local children's charity has been threatened with an order by police because of the anti-social behaviour of the large numbers of people who come to see the spectacle (November 2005)
Smith family - In one of the first uses of its type, four members of a family of travellers have received Asbos establishing an exclusion zone of five square miles in the area they had been living, which they can now stop in only to get petrol. Outside the prohibited area they are allowed to stay in one place for no longer than 21 days and cannot return to a previous campsite for at least a year (August 2005)
Barrington Harris - A 47-year-old in breach of his order for singing too loudly at home was jailed, refused bail, and subsequently missed his mother's funeral (July 2005) He was recently released having spent 64 days in prison but is likely to lose his flat as his housing association has initiated eviction proceedings against him (September 2005)"

Better source.
"2. An 18-year-old youth was recently made the subject of an ASBO in the same city with a condition not to congregate with three or more other youths. He was subsequently arrested for breach of his order when he was entering a local youth club on the grounds that there were more than three youths in the premises. This was a successful club with a good reputation providing a valuable service to young people locally, and on the particular evening the session scheduled for the youths was how to deal with anti-social behaviour.
3. Again this year, in Manchester, the Council used its powers to obtain an ASBO to stop mobile soup vans operating in the city centre. These vans provide food and assistance regularly each evening to about 100 homeless people. The Council however argued that after the vans had left there was a mess all over the place and people had complained. Probation staff argued that the same could be said about every kebab shop, pub, chip shop and off-licence in the city.
11. A 13-year-old was served an order banning him from using the word "grass" anywhere in England and Wales.
13. In February 2003, a 16-year-old boy was banned from showing his tattoos, wearing a single golf glove, or wearing a balaclava in public anywhere in the country. He was also forbidden from congregating in public places in groups of more than three people"
