But Regal Cinema wants to use taxpayer money to sic police on people to scare them rather than collect damages that would far exceed any criminal fine. And Regal didn't collect a dime of that fine. 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 comment of a vindictive hypocrite who sees things arbitrarily with zero understanding of criminal law vs. civil law 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.
