BBC Sherlock ASBO fic search

Hello: does anyone remember a fic where one of the police - I believe it was Lestrade, although it may have been Dimmock - turns up to give character witness and prevent John from being given an ASBO, please?  (It's not Blind Justice)

Thanks for your help!

Update: found, (kindly finder [livejournal.com profile] mojoflower): it's Friends in Embarassing Places by Catslynw.

Good morning. I think you are looking for
Friends in Embarrassing Places (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6536378/1/Friends-in-Embarrassing-Places) by Catslynw (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1121056/Catslynw)over on FF.net

"One-shot. Set after "The Blind Banker." John goes to court to face the music… and the ASBO. Lestrade and company get involved despite John's best efforts to keep things quiet. Gen. Friendship." Rating K+. 4K words.

He sees Lestrade while waiting, but it's Dimmock who speaks for him. This story is lovely. I've always felt that there aren't enough stories that deal with the ASBO. As a matter of fact, I can only think of this one, and then one in some kind of Slave AU where John gets pilloried because Sherlock forgets about it. There need to be more!
