So, the news this morning; introduction of fixed penalty tickets for anti-social behaviour, cost £40 - £80, but the option of court if you wish to defend yourself.
Can see this being used against people smoking cannabis in public, myself!
Is this going to work?
Surely the majority of anti-social people are unlikely to play the game, leading to a massive backlog of paperwork & court cases.
[edited to add, it's a pilot in three areas]

People will always be disruptive when they are drunk, simply coz people are drunk. Now police will be hanging around pubs waititng for summit to happen instead of tackling proper crime
and we could have adverts on the back of em and the occasional special offer. like people who are expecting a lot of these tickets could bulk buy in advance and show one to the cops and have it stamped or something. yeh..lets try it see how it goes...."come on blindboy i could have rolled ten o them by now "
I dont think fines are the answer though, I think it comes down to a change in attitude, we should try to work toward a situation where it people will get really embarresed if they did this kind of thing.
I think making them wear sandwich boards with something along the lines of "I am a drunken lout with a bear belly and a small penis" around the streets for a few hours would be a much better idea.
How about a 'Name & Shame' notice board in Town centres, with photos of the twats.
Same principle as the old stocks, but a bit more sane for this period in history.
