“Consumer Advocacy” is dpixel8′s Middle Name

Just ran across an article that interested me, but didn’t hold my attention long enough to read it in its entirety. I thought to myself, “this would be and article and reaction posting better suited to Dpixel8″. And here it is. With tangy, bite-size snippet.

“There is little oversight of a system retailers call “civil recovery,” created by special laws passed in all 50 states. With no proof of theft, the retailers demand money — often $200 but sometimes far more — and promise to avoid suing if it is paid quickly. Laws vary by state, but in general, retailers can demand these sums even if the item at issue was worth far less and was quickly recovered and put back on the shelf. “
