You can get a civil injunction, Community Protection Notice (CPN) or Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) as punishment for antisocial behaviour. Civil injunctions, CPNs and CBOs replaced Antisocial Behaviour Orders (ASBOs) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. ASBOs are still used in Scotland. Antisocial behaviour includes: drunken or threatening behaviour vandalism and graffiti playing loud music at night I think it probably falls under threatening behaviour Title: Re: Serious question Post by: RED-DOG on May 22, 2019, 11:14:04 AM So would it be the same punishment for throwing a milkshake at-

Perhaps if it wasn't too severe a group of 10 or 20 people could follow Boris and take turns to splat him every 5 mins or so.

They either cooperate with the police or they don't, then it's up to the CPS to decide |
