The Corporate Legal System

Hi,

Remember: Any sufficiently large corporation is indistinguishable from government.

For what might be the first time, the state Attorney General's Office charged Friday, an Erie debt-collection company resorted to theater -- people dressed like sheriff's deputies and bogus court proceedings in a mock courtroom headed by a person dressed in black -- to intimidate consumers into making immediate payments, providing access to bank accounts, or surrendering vehicle titles and other assets.

I'm having a hard time parsing that sentence. I take it that some corporation intimidated people by pretending to be a court?

Yup.

If the debtor showed up with a lawyer, the whole thing got called off.
