It's hard to...<i>"is that even legal?"</i> <br /><br />It's hard to believe, isn't it, but yes. <br /><br /><i>"We can be certain that our knowledge merely scratches the surface of a murky, corrupt underworld where a new role for police is parasitic on criminal profit. "</i> <br /><br />Indeed.<br /><br /><i>"Wasn't the proceeds of crime act only supposed to be used against terrorists, crime kingpins etc?"</i> <br /><br />Well, that's how these things are always sold to the public, isn't it? <br /><br />"We're targetting them. Not you, you'll be safe. We'll use common sense, after all..."<br /><br />And when you realise their definition of 'them' is <i>all of us</i>, and common sense goes out the window when greed comes in the front door, it's too late...<br /><br /><i>"They are framing businessmen at a rate of knots to use this law to steal their money as it is, so it isn't too far a step to go on to start killing people."</i><br /><br />I don't think they're quite there yet. Scavengers, not active predators.JuliaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07844126589712842477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-1468614069749102812010-08-12T18:50:58.095+01:002010-08-12T18:50:58.095+01:00The cops probably killed him themselves, after all...The cops probably killed him themselves, after all they are going to be the the ones investigating the murder so it is easy for them to get away with it.<br /><br />They are framing businessmen at a rate of knots to use this law to steal their money as it is, so it isn't too far a step to go on to start killing people.Rayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538802307406472626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-64591946510522148892010-08-12T16:29:38.145+01:002010-08-12T16:29:38.145+01:00Guilty until proven innocent (at the defendant'...Guilty until proven innocent (at the defendant's expense, of course).<br /><br />Wasn't the proceeds of crime act only supposed to be used against terrorists, crime kingpins etc?<br /><br />I'd have thought that Mr Druckenfield's executor/estate administrator would have a case for trying to reclaim it - if the audit trail hasn't gone cold over the next 7 years...Nick2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-14153881627595225472010-08-12T15:50:52.415+01:002010-08-12T15:50:52.415+01:00'....the money will be split between the Treas...'....the money will be split between the Treasury, police, Court Services and the Crown Prosecution Service.'<br />My God!
