Crime Doesn't Pay ... Much

Cleveland, England, police are defending their decision to haul a drug dealer into court to confiscate assets totaling 53 cents, Agence France Presse reported. "We are determined that no one should benefit from crime, and, although 29 pence may seem minuscule, it sends out a message that the courts will strip such people of every asset that can be found even if it is a few pence," detective superintendent Gordon Lang said. Tabrez Khan had been jailed for more than six years for allegedly conspiring to sell drugs.

Wasn't there some case in America where a geezer was refused entry to the police force on account of being too intelligent?

Yup, I read this in a newspaper a couple of years ago. Something about the guy trying to sue the police force, because they refused him for having too high an I.Q.

The reply of the police was that he would have found the job too boring.
