What's the story behind that then? Does it allow the police to break up gangs of kids or something? (couldn't they do that anyway?)

This means pple dont need to be doing anything wrong at the time. 2 pple or more is a crowd. (see seating pic next) Looks like since 2003 but now it is being acted upon. Its just strange but more common now to see these type of signs .

Interesting. Is it actually legal under European legislation?

I think each country can agree "in principle" 2 the eu . But its not binding and they can still do their own thing as suits them... Dont quote me Im still checking....

:(

Dhamaka here is the police with their own poster. There is also a report (link) in the txt on the EU understanding. But Its being used in other ways. Its all contradictory to me. But im trying to understand. http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/03/424946.html?c=on#comments
