See Last One Speaks for this travesty:
In yet another example of forfeiture run amok, 81 year old David Davies, a WWII vet and his wife Florence had their life’s worth of assets seized because their son was storing 19 kilos of cannabis in the ceiling. In an blatantly apparent miscarriage of justice, the couple received, “16-month suspended jail sentences last month after being convicted on two counts of possessing marijuana with intent to supply.” I mean really, intent? Who on earth did the prosecution contend they were intending to supply it to?To add insult to injury, the Australian government with obvious US inspired prosecutorial greed, took possession of the family home (because they could) and intend to charge them rent.
