This one practical measure could have more impact on organised crime here than all the provisions in the Criminal Justice Bill currently being railroaded through the House. Infringements of the right to silence and extending the maximum periods of detention will not make this kind of crime less lucrative. However, if we can get hold of criminals' SUVs, cash and other property, we can certainly make it less attractive.
