Can the police be charged with wasting police time? Tossers.
British coppers look after pennies
British police defended taking a convicted drug dealer to court to confiscate assets that amounted to a trifling 29 pence (53 US cents).
"We are determined that no one should benefit from crime and although 29 pence may seem minuscule, it sends out a message that the courts will strip such people of every asset that can be found even if it is a few pence," Detective Superintendent Gordon Lang of the Cleveland police said.
Tabrez Khan, who made 12,710 pounds ($US22,940) through dealing, was jailed for six-and-a-half years after admitting he conspired to peddle hard drugs.
