"Injunctions to Prevent Nuisance and Annoyance" - the new ASBOs

[muriel_volestrangler]

A piece of legislation that is going through Parliament is rather alarming. It has passed ‘committee stage’, meaning it’s close to becoming law.
...
Summary
- The replacement of the ASBO will be harsher and easier for the authorities to serve
- The replacement of the Dispersal Order will be harsher, longer lasting and easier for the authorities to serve
- These, together with recent government moves (below) represent a genuine threat to UK freedoms, not least the right to protest and right to assembly
...
This version, however, is worse. ASBOs could only be issued when a yob/hoodie/hoodlum had done something wrong – caused ‘harassment, alarm or distress’.

As Scriptonite Daily points out, IPNAs require only that you might ‘engage in behaviour capable of causing annoyance’. This is FEROCIOUSLY WIDE AND FUZZY.

Injunctions to prevent nuisance and annoyance
1 Power to grant injunctions
(1) A court may grant an injunction under this section against a person aged 10 or
over (“the respondent”) if two conditions are met.
(2) The first condition is that the court is satisfied, on the balance of probabilities,
that the respondent has engaged or threatens to engage in conduct capable of
causing nuisance or annoyance to any person (“anti-social behaviour”).
(3) The second condition is that the court considers it just and convenient to grant
the injunction for the purpose of preventing the respondent from engaging in
anti-social behaviour.
(4) An injunction under this section may for the purpose of preventing the
respondent from engaging in anti-social behaviour—
(a) prohibit the respondent from doing anything described in the
injunction;
(b) require the respondent to do anything described in the injunction.
