What a fantastic 'toon site by multimedia mirth maker Jon Birch.
For non-British readers, an ASBO is an Anti-Social Behaviour Order. As Jon says: "… the courts here award them to people who are deemed to be constant trouble in their neighbourhoods… presumably according to their neighbours!" In some cases they bring liberation and in others oppression. Plus they blur the line between criminal and non-criminal behaviour in ways that human rights lawyers have deep suspicions about and many young people resent.
