   All that can be said here is that it is a very sad case when a person
refrains from an action that they might otherwise take because of a fear
of the effects of a wrongful prosecution. Very sad.

   Isn't it true that the seizure of property in these cases (video stores
included) (and in the USA) are based on the RICO (organized crime) laws?
Am I the only one that thinks that applying RICO laws to video stores is
wrong?
