    Not at all, and no need to keep receipts on you. The cops need to get approval from an on-call prosecutor (kind-of) and have probable cause. They’re not going to stop a random citizen about their wedding ring, and even if they did the prosecutor wouldn’t allow them to take it. This targets known criminals without any income flaunting expensive shit. Now their shit gets taken away, and I’m good with it.

        Yeah as an American this is uncomfortably naive. I warned my countryfolk about it once and I’ll warn others about it now. This shit doesn’t end well.
