That is valid. However, it will only get worse if we do not speak up.
Maybe. It's been over 20 years since my parents were hit with a BS RICO case. They took the house, their cars, and their bank accounts. No criminal action was filed against my parents. Luckily they are tenacious, smart, and had other assets that were missed in seizure to pay for an expensive attorney.
They were able to demonstrate that the DA and local sheriff had falsified evidence presented to the judge to obtain their warrant. Apparently, key people had a grudge against my folks and the county gets to spend the proceeds of the auction. The county offered a deal of my parents silence and they had to leave their profession in exchange for their property back and the guarantee of no other actions against them. They took the deal as urged by their attorney, because you are fighting a monster with almost unlimited resources and all of their wealth would have been consumed for "maybe" a satisfactory outcome.
They lost almost half of their life savings in attorney fees and items that were "lifted" or never made it to the evidence room. It also wrecked my folks emotionally to have their business destroyed. It took years before they got back in the game and succeeded as they always have.
So, I can personally attest to how bad this stuff is. I doubt it will change any time soon. There are too many interests that enjoy the benefits of the status quo. Everyone has a breaking point, but I think we are far from that still, sadly.
