Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.

There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."

"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

Man playing country music out loud from his phone on the bus.

I hope he gets home to discover that his dog won't hunt, his truck won't start, his wife has run off with the pastor after draining every last drop of liquor in the house, and that he can't even shoot himself because his gun is jammed.

Dog shit etiquette

"I’ve seen full bags tied to low-hanging branches and kids’ play equipment."

"The person who ties the bag on to a low-hanging branch of a street tree (disturbingly common) or leaves it on a car bonnet or on top of – or in – letterboxes. I’ve also seen full bags of dog poo tied to kids’ play equipment in the park and to fence palings. I’ve occasionally seen them left on the sea wall of the small, off-leash beach near me – right next to the bin."

One woman "was bagging the poo her dog had just laid on the nature strip in a blue plastic bag. Because her back was to me she had not seen me when she tied the bag up and promptly tossed it over the low front fence on to the middle of the front lawn of the house she’d halted in front of. "

Dog owners in Bellingen just let their canines off leash to dump their faeces on other people's gardens or wildlife habitat.

WA has introduced what they say are the 'toughest' nang laws in the country. Will they work?

Traditionally used as medicine or in catering settings, the canisters – also called 'nangs' – have become an increasingly common sight at parties and festivals. Now WA is clamping down on their sale.

So nice of both Tesla owners to actually use their charging spots..

#antisocialBehaviour

Zero Tolerance policing does not reduce crime.

"The most effective strategies [to reduce crime] involved #police partnering with #communities to address #social problems in a holistic way and with a much wider set of tools than simple arrests. Good #policing should seek the "least intrusive means of solving a problem" and involves police #partnerships with actors across the public and #community sectors."

#AntiSocialBehaviour

The #police will be dispersing or arresting anyone who does not look like an economically active #consumer. The UK is turning #AntiSocialBehaviour into an exclusionary, hostile new normal.

"A #DispersalOrder has been put in place [on #OxfordStreet] from 11am on Tuesday to 10am on Thursday, giving police officers the power to #exclude people from the area for 48 hours. Anyone who does not #comply can be #arrested."

"#AntiSocialBehaviour" in England now includes:

Napping
Feeding birds
Climbing trees
"Using bikes in a way that has a negative effect for others"

Beyond the usual being homeless, young, loud, festive, in the dark, or "not from here". Most of which are pro-social behaviour - but involving people without a political voice.

And far beyond the drunkenness, drug dealing and threatening behaviour originally defining (criminal) anti-social behaviour.

#FOI reveals more than 2,000 complaints about anti-social behaviour went unanswered by police every day in 2020, with over 860,000 incidents unattended.

The Liberal Democrats, who made the requests, blame the government for being "out of control" of the issue.
