I don't know if this is related at all, but right now the protests are about the government making corruption legal when it is under a certain amount. -- The emergency decree decriminalises several offences and makes abuse of power punishable by incarceration only if the sums involved are more than €44,000 (£38,000; $48,000).-- http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-38836322
It is relevant, thank you. This is not related to your comment but it reminds me, I vaguely remember a case in California where some plaintiffs were trying to sue cops using RICO for excessive force but the case was thrown out because the damages were physical harm and not financial.
