Operation HASH report back

Report back from the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army.
Phase One of Operation HASH (Helping all Smokers Halt) completed.

The clandestine insurgent rebel clown army left the camp at 0900 hours heading through the back field directly to drax. The planned operation, codenamed HASH (helping all smokers halt) was a simple plan, to enter drax and place a giant fossilette patch on Drax.

It has long been seen that the station at Drax has a major smoking problem Relentlessly chain smoking all hours of the day and night it is vital that Drax halts this vile habit. However Drax is not the only one to blame as the stress caused by the capitalist economic framework makes this vile addiction a necessity. Thus to demonstate this CIRCA planned to help with the giant
fossilette patch.

An attempt at stealth was made with the clowns lining up behind the patch quietly chanting "we're just a fossilette patch". It was at first successfull but soon other less jolly clowns in the area got wind of the plan and blocked our entry to Drax at a bridge.

They stated that they could stop us continuing our important mission as they had EVIDENCE to suggest we were going to commit a crime. Despite quickly hiding our three rung ladder ladder ladder we were sussed and they confiscated it, throwing our lunch in the water.

After splitting into 2 groups some of the clown party got very close to the fence of drax but were ordered to line up and escorted away by some lovely horses. They were informed that Drax would quit under his own will power and didn't need our help.

The second group of clowns entered the town and sucessfully charamed both locals and the media resulting in a favourable article in the gaurdian. Finally the two groups joyfully regrouped and after an unsuccessfull attempt at making a nuisence of ourselves on the main road we headed back to camp, not before the police conviscated the fossilette patch and smashed it up (refusing to give a recepit for conviscating the property). They did however help a few police vehicles quit their addiction with the help of small adhesive fossilette patches.

The clowns are disappointed that they were not able to assist offer Drax the asssistance needed to break the addiction to fossil fuels and hence they are keen to repeat Operation HASH until Drax and other poor chimneys out there have given up and moved on to more joyous pursuits.

Anyone know the rules on confiscation of property

I've seen the police take stuff off protestors quite a bit recently. Anyone know what their rules are about this?

The police have to follow the PACE code. They can only take property as part of an arrest as evidence. They have to look after the property and return it to you in the same condition.

If they trash your stuff you can sue them.

They shouldn't be allowed to get away with these unlawful acts they keep doing.
