UK seized new powers starting today [including destroying Monero]

--Police will no longer be required to make an arrest before seizing crypto from a suspect.

--seize anything, such as written passwords, flash drives, or memory sticks

--destroy crypto assets, such as privacy coins, for the "public good", like Monero

--goes into effect today

This has the text copy-pasted from the official UK website, but without having to have your IP address literally connect to the official cybercrime division website, (ironically, we seized their text)

destroy [...] assets [...] for the public good

The public would greatly benefit if we destroyed assets of lobbyists and their funders! You're drafting the law for that, right? Right?
