Yeah.................................. they had to create a new law...
An ASBO is not charging with crime, it's being charged with, and try and stay with me:
Anti
Social
Behaviour
Order
A civil, not criminal, order. And they were legislated in 1998, 16 years before this incident.
I'm personally referring to someone in the UK, which by the way is NOT Britain exclusively, but rather is
four different countries altogether. Notably, the entirety of the UK is governed under the auspices of
IMPERIALISM.

Since 1707, under the Act of Union between the kingdoms of England and Scotland everybody from the Kingdom of Great Britain (later the United Kingdom following the Act of Union 1800 between kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland) the correct term for the people who come are of those nations is "British", hence "British governement". Northern Irish are British, seriously, check their passports.
Oh, and btw, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland all have their own devolved legislatures, while officially a unitary state in the sense there is only one "sovereign" legislature, the UK is a quasi federalised nation. Northern Ireland and Scotland have procedures in place for secession (Scotland Act and Endinburgh agreement has scheduled a referendum where the citizens of Scotland choose wether to stay within the Union. The Good Friday Agreement has scheduled that, whenever the majority of Northern Ireland and Ireland wish to unite, they can do so). Doesn't sound to imperialistic to me.
This could be a good time to point out, I'm British and currently studying History & Politics in Westminster.
Someone so blatantly ignorant of geography and or the paradigm of an individual in the UK, OR BRITAIN, being called a citizen while only being treated as a subject, quote, "should really just be quiet," unquote.
>u wot m8
You do realise you just called someone from the UK ignorant of individual Brits?
For instance, back in the day, for an individual to receive assistance from the authorities, one had to be a "citizen" of the crown, but one could only be a "citizen" if that one agreed to remain living in the same place for at least five years. I wouldn't call that person a citizen, but rather a subject under an imperialistic rule.
What? You mean back in the day when the extent of Westminster's sovereignty covered 25% of all land area and 20% of all humans? And was known as the British Empire?
You're shocked they were imperialistic? Well, colour me shocked.
Btw, every British citizen can travel the world, due to the Commonwealth it's actually one of the most reapected passports in the world.
Next year I can move from Florida to Honduras, stay for 3 years, move back, and NEVER lose my citizenship. I guess we disagree on the semantics, which I will agree to disagree.
This is not a matter of opinion. Fortunately, I'm right (as per the laws of many countries), and I'll explain why.
Being a "subject" of the crown has not existed in the sense you are putting forth since 1949. The Empire was crippled, and the "wind of change" meant the process of responsible decolinisation had to take place.
The foundations of citizenship can be found in beginning in 1935 when the Irish Free State created their own "Irish citizenship" despite the term "British subject" still being applicable (though ceasing in 1949 under the abolishing of the Irish crown). Over the next 15 years, during the transition from empire to commonwealth, the other dominions created their own citizenship and in 1949 the United Kingdom created citizenship of the "United Kingdom & Colonies" and the term "British subject", although not repealed was beginning to be replaced with "Commonwealth Citizen". British subject was finally repealed from all statute books throughout the Commonwealth by the 80's in favour of Commonwealth citizen.
However, the UK, with it's near millennia long constitution so although the term may be there in regards to some (before 1983) it now only applies to people who are connected to Ireland and born before 1949. The terms is non-hereditary, applicable to less than 3,500 people and will die out soon.
