ASBO Orders Teenager ‘Get Drunk’!
Okay, not in so many words, but we’re not entirely joking here.
A Northumberland teenager has been given an Anti Social Behaviour Order instructing him to not roam the streets ‘without’ alcohol or ‘without’ acting in a threatening manner.
The ASBO should have said with, but actually said without. Some silly arse made an error typing the thing, probably on a Friday afternoon, probably with half a WKD going under the desk.
The unnamed fifteen-year-old recipient took full advantage of terrifying local residents and binge drinking on street corners, with the police apparently powerless to stop him.
Quite annoying when they spend several months getting such teenage terrors into court in the first place.
"It is maddening to spend all that time only for the order then to tell him to go out and misbehave. It really does beggar belief." remarked a police source.
The astonishingly stupid typing error only got brought to light when the boy was pulled up in front of Magistrates smiling like a stuffed Jack Nicholson (DVDs).
"It is maddening to spend all that time only for the order then to tell him to go out and misbehave. It really does beggar belief."
A sure-fire example for us all there, check your parking tickets, speeding tickets, credit card and escort services bills – hopefully they’ve made a mistake too.
Surely fifteen hundred quid for a Taiwanese lap dancer’s gotta be wrong, hasn’t it?

I can’t bear these teenagers nowadays (not all teenagers you understand), these that hang around street corners, making you feel intimidated, thinking that they own the country. And it’s the police that actually LET them, by not prosecuting them because of some legal loopholes (like the one mentioned above) or something. Hopeless.
