Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Act 2017
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

23 Search and seizure warrants
(1) A justice may issue a warrant under this section in respect of any premises if satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that property liable to forfeiture under section 19 is likely to be found. (2) A warrant under this section authorises a constable— (a) to enter and search the premises specified in the warrant, and (b) to seize any property found there which the constable has grounds for believing is liable to forfeiture under section 19. (3) A person exercising a power conferred by a warrant under this section may, if necessary, use reasonable force in the exercise of the power. (4) Property seized under this section must be retained by a constable pending— (a) forfeiture of the property under section 20, or (b) return or disposal of the property under section 27. (5) A person who has custody of property following its seizure under this section must give notice of its seizure to any person who, to his or her knowledge, owned the property at the time it was seized. (6) But notice need not be given if the property was seized in the presence of— (a) the owner, or (b) an employee or agent of the owner. (7) A reference in this section to the owner of property means, if there is more than one owner, any of them. (8) In this section— “justice” means— in England and Wales, a justice of the peace, in Scotland, a sheriff or summary sheriff, and in Northern Ireland, a lay magistrate; “premises” has the same meaning as in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (see section 23 of that Act).

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
