      RICo is sketchy even by US standards. It's right up there with the gang enhancement laws that are just like Well, there are two black kids on the same block, so they're members of an illegal street gang and we're going to arrest them and charge them with a felony because one of them has a cousin they haven't talked to in years who did a burglary last month and what are they going to do, afford lawyers?"

      "Law and order" they call it. Charging people with a crime because they freely associated. : p
