Bob,
With red diesel. If it is found in your tank or fuel supply then you are guilty of the offence. It is an absolute offence. Even if you did not put the fuel in ot even if you were unaware it was there, the law says you should have known.
This law has been in place since 1973.
Incidentally we are a department of state of Her Majesty's Goverment. As such we enforce the law as it is enabled by act of Parliment. In turn Parliment is constituted of democratically elected members who debate and vote on said acts. Those that acheive a majority vote in favour become law.
I can't see the comparison between the KGB/Saddam Hussein and HM Customs myself :? :?

(Not strictly true, you must be on the public highway)
Ok I can accept that BUT even a murderer who is seen doing the act is allowed a trial by jury. AND there are other situations where you might not know it is there and have no resonable grounds to know it is there.

What constitutes "suspicion". An irrate naibour? Tracks out of the farm yard? HMC&E official in a bad mood and dosnt like the way he was spoken to?

They also passed laws on speed cameras and using mobile phones in a moving car BUT the police still have to prove the offence occured. HMC&E do not.

HMC&E do not have to prove anything to take punative mesures against a person, just be suspicious/have a wim/be in a bad mood and there is no come back.
--- Quote ---The Lindsey case (more) was important in that it established a number of new points. Firstly it noted that confiscating a car was disproportionate to the nature of the crime. It also established that the Courts have no legal power to force C&E to give a vehicle back or pay compensation, only to review its decision again.
