Unlawful Assembly

Unlawful assembly refers to a gathering of three or more people in a public place intending to commit a crime or cause a disturbance. This legal concept is often used to prevent violence or disorder. Even if the group does not engage in illegal activities, the police can disperse them if they believe the assembly poses a threat to public peace or safety. The law aims to balance the right to assemble peacefully with the need to maintain order in society.
