I think we need to pay close attention to these thin wedges, and oppose them every step of the way. Was just thinking it through. Sometimes I think I'm right, when actually I'm wrong... Yes.

An inadvertent ASBO is in no-way comparable to wrongful imprisonment. Its just yet another "thin end of the wedge/where do you draw the line" argument. Summary justice is not something I would like to see enabled in this country. Sure. An inadvertent ASBO is in no-way comparable to wrongful imprisonment.

Its just yet another “thin end of the wedge/where do you draw the line” argument. Summary justice is not something I would like to see enabled in this country.

It's not the same as going to prison for something you didn't do. And if you wanted to convince a court that you wouldn't do it again, couldn't you cite the lack of evidence for the original "wrong-doing", or even an alibi?
