My fellow Americans, that was irony. It forms a major part of UK humour (try watching Monty Python. The whole spam sketch is irony) Your constitution says (Amendment V) "No person shall ... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law". How you can have due process when any warnings will be on the PC that has been destroyed? Unless of course you find out the person's address. If you have that information you should go and arrest them and confiscate the PCs anyway. Our unwritten constitution was ripped up last Thursday by Tony Blair. (Note to Americans - that was irony again...) This is my last post on the subject.
