It would be ludicrous to let these criminals have their bikes back once they are caught. Rapid disposal prevents seized machines being reclaimed and returned to criminal networks, and it strengthens deterrence. This approach mirrors precedent in other enforcement contexts, where rapid disposal of hazardous or criminally used items is permitted after a short, fair process. I do not want the police doing this, so my amendment would allow them to delegate disposal authority to accredited local authorities or approved operators that can demonstrate secure and suitable chains of custody and rapid destruction capability.
