Funny how so many people don't know anything about law and how many of those want to use the law vindictively against a person who had NO CRIMINAL INTENT - which is the legal requirement for a CRIMINAL charge vs. a civil court matter. Intent is the critical element. Some people and companies just love to come down hard on others, but, of course, they are exempt if ever they get in trouble.
Taxpayers pay for prosecutions of criminal charges, the fines seldom cover the expense, whereas in civil cases, the loser has to pay for all costs plus damages, taxpayers pay zero. But Regal Cinema wants to use taxpayer money to sic police on people to scare them rather than collect damages. And in this nation of vengeance seekers, where we put a much greater percentage of people in prison than any other country, its a lot more fun to threaten people who innocently do foolish things with prison, isn't it? It's interesting to read the comments of vindictive hypocrites to see why prisons are so full of warehoused inmates, provided with zero rehabilitation and instead learn crime, who leave prison with hatred on their minds. This was a civil matter, only prosecuted under pressure from a vindictive, malicious, powerful company which deserves to go out of business.
