It is a given that if you got a ticket for playing, it will be dismissed if you show up for court. They want the guy running it, not taking any chance to get the little fish and establishing precedence.

He did just get a ticket ... but the fact that the ticket got dismissed for IE is what is telling. No way they should have "insufficient evidence," right?

If not, why not just raid the bank during a break. Get someone in the bank with a deck of cards and clean out the vaults? It seems to me there should be a remedy to recover the confiscated monies and property caused by a raid without purpose.
