Police are to take no action over the discovery, made during a security sweep of the property in Lanarkshire, since it was unclear who had owned it." In my day if it was found on your property, you were responsible. |

As always, it all depends upon who you know, and who you are. If you're a nobody, or indeed a notorious hippy, you can get hauled off to jail for anything found on your premises, even if it was placed there by the very authorities who so conveniently "found" it. If you're a well-connected big shot, apparently, you can use the "Unclear-Who-Owns-It" defense. PS ~ isn't this BS? |

It was taught as established law by the time I went to university in 1967. |
