	Riot Act. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
		The riot act has been read to far more people than the disturbers of the peace the Riot Act was intended to control.
		The official Riot Act was enacted by Parliament in 1715 to discourage unlawful assembly and civic turbulence, although the first recorded use of the term Riot Act to refer to this legislation does not appear until 1731.
		The act provided that if 12 or more people gathered unlawfully or for purposes of disturbing the peace, a portion of the Riot Act would be read to them, and if the assembled did not disperse by one hour after this reading, they would be guilty of felony.

	Riot Act
		The Riot Act is an old piece of English legislation allowing certain officials to declare any assembly of more than twelve persons to be unlawful and order the assembly to disperse within one hour on pain of death.
		To invoke the Act, the following words had to be read by a "justice or justices of the peace, or by the sheriff of the county, or his under-sheriff, or by the mayor, bailiff or bailiffs, or other head-officer, or justice of the peace of any city or town corporate":
		Because the Riot Act was passed during the Colonial period it was inherited by many British colonies[?].

	Pearl Jam: Riot Act [2002] Shaking Through.net: Music: Review
		Riot Act is the sound of a popular band fighting hard not to be populist, continually trying to distance itself from the hits that afforded the financial security that in turn allows its latter-day experimentation.
		And Riot Act does boast a couple of moments that break out of the miasma; the bracing "Save You" recalls the vitality of Yield and 1994's Vitalogy, and "Cropduster" and "You Are," to name a couple, prove engaging if not fully engrossing.
		Riot Act is ultimately quelled by a near-palpable hesitation to go for the bright chord, the singalong hook, the Vs.

	Read the riot act
		Since the early 19th century we have used 'read the riot act' as a figurative phrase to describe attempts to calm groups of rowdies - along the same lines as 'you noisy louts, don't you know there are people here trying to sleep?'.
		The 'Riot Act' was passed by the British government in 1714 and came into force in 1715.
		The punishments for ignoring the Act were severe - penal servitude for not less than three years, or imprisonment with hard labour for up to two years.

		Riots occur when crowds or even small groups of people have gathered and are committing or seem about to commit crimes or acts of violence usually in reaction to a perceived grievance or out of dissent, but sometimes for no immediately apparent reason.
		Riots have arisen over poor working or living conditions, government oppression, efforts at taxation or conscription, conflicts between races or religions, or even the outcome of a sporting event or as protest against perceived cultural colonialism.
		Riots have become major news generators, including Aboriginal riots in response to the violent death of an Aboriginal boy, and most recently a major anti-Lebanese riot.

		In my opinion, Riot Act should have worked a little longer on the production end of things before releasing this CD - I think that some of the emotions that these songs were meant to convey didn't make the transition from the studio sessions to the CD.
		Unfortunately for Riot Act, Maniacal Diastrophe Tour is too rough around the edges quality-wise to be considered a top-level rock and roll release.
		Though the Riot Act CDs are flawed, Rick Ray on his own, is incredibly prolific and has the skills of Frank Marino and Robin Trower rolled into one package.

		The Riot Act was unsuccessful in controlling a series of disturbances including the 1743 Gin Riots, the 1768 St George's Massacre and the 1780 Gordon Riots.

		The Seattle group's eighth album (give or take the 72 bootleg-style double CDs they released in 2001) has more in common with classic rock institutions like Crazy Horse and the Band than the snarling forces that were trying to tear away at their legacies.
		Appropriately, Riot Act is built on thematic pillars--love, death, politics--and fueled by dense, uncompromising power chords.
		Ultimately, "Riot Act" is an album with a lot of peaks and valleys, but that's what makes Pearl Jam such a powerful band.

		We have today published a consultation paper that looks at the origin and past operation of the Riot (Damages) Act 1886 (RDA) and seeks the views of stakeholders on the future of the RDA.
		Police authorities, the police service and others have argued for some time that the principle underpinning the RDA - that a riot presents a culpable failure to provide adequate policing - is no longer appropriate to modern conditions.
		It is also argued that the RDA provides a safety net for businesses and households - particularly in inner city areas, which have traditionally been more at risk of civil disturbances - and where property owners may have difficulties obtaining insurance, at least at affordable rates.
