Welcome to

Here’s a good one from the paper this week: Big Retail Chains Dun
Mere Suspects in Theft. Apparently, large retailers paid off enough lawmakers to pass various sham laws which allow the retailers to shakedown alleged shoplifters. Emphasis on alleged here. No crime must have been proved. The retailers are basically able to attempt to cajole and intimidate these people and attempt to extract ‘pre-legal’ litigation fees.

 Hey, great way to build customer goodwill.
