WHAT HAPPENED TO INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?

I am totally appalled with signs being set up on individual's
properties when a drug search was held at the residence. Whatever
happened to human rights? Even the members of Parliament ask
permission before putting a sign on your property.

If I understand correctly, even if no drugs are found, the sign still goes up.

Okay, what if there is someone I don't care for and I call the police
to say there are drugs in their residence? If they happen to search
and find nothing do they still post a sign? Whatever happened to
"innocent until proven guilty"?

Who pays for those signs? Oh yes the police are looking for an
increase in their budget, so I guess we pay. Is this one of the
reasons for the upcoming tax increase in Cornwall?

I don't agree with illegal drugs and I don't think drug dealers
should be protected, but at least prove they are guilty in a court of
law first then throw them in jail.
