1.13 Causing Harassment, alarm or distress

[Tyla Jai]

Is this a new law or a change to a current law: New

What law do you wish to change/add:
Section 1.13 - Causing Harassment, alarm or distress
The act of using threatening, abusive or insulting words/behaviour, disorderly behaviour or the act of displaying any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening, abusive or insulting. This is an offence committed in a public setting.

Why should this change/addition be made: There is some laws on anti-social behaviour but I feel adding this will fully cover anything, this might include offensive shop signs etc.

What is the aim of this change/addition: Covering more anti-social behaviour in Paralake laws.

Additional Information: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/5 Again just another general idea, change it round however.

Great minds think alike @LordTyla. I had this ready to go in, however I thought to replace 1.2 verbal abuse. Opinions on amendment below?​
