"A teenager who was ordered not to wear a hooded top as part of an antisocial behaviour order has been allowed to don it again after a court heard the ban breached his human rights.
Under the interim Asbo, the 16-year-old was forbidden from wearing a hoodie or a baseball cap that could obscure his face. He was also prevented from entering certain streets in Portsmouth and barred from associating with named youths."
