And if they are caught doing something illegal, they'll face a few million dollar fine so the FCC can show how tough they are, while Verizon will keep a hundred million dollars in ill gotten profits.
Yup. The FCC fined Verizon $1.35 million for using supercookies without users' permission, which is unlikely to change the behavior of a company that paid its 4 top executives over $40 million in total in 2015.
Just one example: look at states which charge overly-prosectured minorities parole fees (often for unpaid tickets and other civil matters) and reimprison them if they are unable to pay these extortionist taxes.
Just make sure to show up for an asset examination.
It's the one thing you need to show up for. The judge usually just fines you, but can arrest, at least in CA. I had to show up for one, and my judgment holder didn't show up, and the judge fined him $200.00, even though I told the judge I didn't lose money by comming to court.
If you ever find yourself in this stressful situation, you have a lot of rights.
