how the @@#$# does the RICO statute apply here?

unless they are on tape discussing pushing narcotics, extortion, murder...but then that would be the police discussing those things.

The state of Texas has this - Texas organized crime law.

And, from that law, here's what the probable cause affidavits claim to be the basis for the arrests

"Criminal street gang" means three or more persons having a common identifying sign or symbol or an identifiable leadership who continuously or regularly associate in the commission of criminal activities.

Do not need a steenkin' tape. Just find them signs and symbols.

There doesn't have to be a "discussion" by the actors in a RICO action. All that has to be shown is that the perps acted in unison to achieve the same objective(s).
