Re: saturation tactics?
HEy, there was a recent 20/20 story on something like this. Basically
the inmates in a lot of jails were swamping the legal system with bogus
lawsuits. Some included were: the right to sacrifice animals due to religion,
the right to get to watch TV, and have a roast duck dinner every night also
due to religion. Some were even more on the far side. One guy sued the
jail for now allowing him to run a drug trafficking business out of his cell.
All of these get thrown out, but the cost to the legal system is a few thousand
per case! This stuff can be >VERY< effective.
Mind you these guys didn't always do whatever they were granted a right to,
they were just badgering the hell out of the legal systems in their states.
