The BBC says:
Suspected drug dealers' assets could be seized on arrest rather than conviction under new plans for England and Wales.
Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said suspects found to be "completely innocent" would get their goods back.
Unbelievable. Presumably part of a grand Labour plan to eventually make everyone prove that they are innocent rather than having the State have to prove that you are guilty. And if the assets are physical goods, you can imagine how much damage the State will do to them while they are kindly looking after them. And for money, is the State going to give you the same return that you would have had for the same length of time? (You can bet your last pound that the answer is no.)
