What the hell is an ASBO?
So, "What the hell is an ASBO?" An ASBO, or "Anti-Social Behaviour Order," is the UK's answer to help deter people acting like dumbasses.
Let's say you get mad at your neighbor's kids for throwing rocks at your siding. You'd go over and have a chat with their parents, right?
Well, there are some people who would rather mow their lawn at 3:00am every day for a month rather than having a civil discussion. Among other things... While it was clearly wrong for the kids to stone your siding for no reason, it certainly doesn't make it right for you to be grooming your yard at "Oh Dark Hundred." If we were in the UK, it would be entirely within my neighbor's right to apply for an ABC, or "Acceptable Behaviour Contract."
You can read all about it here.
Properly enforced, I think this would be an outstanding way to crack down on dumbasses with their souped up stereos in their rusted out shitboxes. I'll get you, DJ Jazzy Trevor. Oh, yes. You will rue the day.
