Regina (Stanley and others) v Commissioner of the Police of the Metropolis and Another: QBD 7 Oct 2004

The claimants had been made subject to Anti-Social Behaviour orders (ASBOs), and complained that the publicity given to the orders by the respondent violated their human rights.
Held: It was part of the effectiveness of an ASBO that it should be publicised, and that would include the use of photographs. That publicity would have several aims, which would overlap. There was no case for saying the publicity should be strictly limited to the restricted area proposed.
