The police said they seized numerous chemicals and paraphernalia that may be associated with production of high-explosive and improvised explosive devices.

That's a crime now?

It is if the cops have announced raiding a meth lab and the perp willfully and with malice turns out to be innocent.

Hmm... if they've just banned fertilizer, have they just banned statements like the quoted one?
