And don’t forget Tip O’Neill and the democrats in control of Congress loved it ‘cause it made them look “tough” on crime.

I wish I could. If you haven't read it, Rise of the Warrior Cop is well worth your time.

I think this store situation is an outlier within a bigger problem. There are a few county juridictions which specialize in this type of thievery.

The flip side of this is criminal seizures, some of which are pretty awesome. Several years ago an AUSA, through the courts, got a seizure of a drug dealer's "grill." They took him from the prison to the dentist and "seized" his diamond encrusted gold caps off his teeth.
