Ill Gotten Gains
It is only right that the Police can now apply to Courts for permission to auction criminals goods usually bought through the proceedings of crime or fraud.
Plus Jail sentences as well
There should be many more Police available for this work.
Why not let Private Detectives help also as they are experienced, and frequent Pubs and Clubs where they hear all the gossip about unemployed people having long expensive holidays and buying expensive Vehicles and Rolex watches as well as Designer Trainers costing £500.00 +
Criminals like to boast about there 'Ill-Gotten Gains' that they steal for a living.
Some of this money goes to the Police Charity Fund where itis put to good use for the benefit of the Town and Local venues where most needed.
This will not deter hardened criminals nor will a few years in Jail as they work in gangs, and have all the hidden loot to come home to, but it will deprive them of some of the many expensive items they have bought with the proceeds of crime.
