Police don’t even know whose money it is, or where it came from. I think they should be able to keep it.

Obviously we need a precedent setting ruling here. Personally I say we go 50/50, given the likely criminal link to the cash.

Allowing the couple to keep 100% would open up a pathway to a new type of money laundering, and will enable drug money to be more easily passed on to others, either deliberately or by accident.

Between income tax and sales tax when they spend it, the government will probably see half of it anyway.
