I find it really strange that such an initiative should be so hard to implement - this includes Norway, where I come from. If something obviously is funded by criminal activities, then just let the state confiscate it! You say its yours? Well then, prove it ...
Story:
UK -- Criminals who think they can cash in on their crimes are being warned to think again.
The force-wide initiative is a major push to seize the assets of lawbreakers, whether they are low-level offenders or the Mr Bigs of the criminal world.
Under the Proceeds of Crime Act, police can seize cash or goods if they are believed to be criminal property or used to commit crime. Already, £3m has been seized by Northumbria Police since the operation started last April.
