The Heist Movie: The Legal Environment

Ariela says that the reason why it became a heist movie was quote, not wanting to go to jail. Ariela: "We are getting to a legal situation in which even nonviolent protest is being absolutely ruled out of bounds" In Louisiana, 25% of local sheriff's deputies were given permission by their Sheriff's departments to work as private security for the pipeline company. And so when thinking about a more militant tactic or when thinking, I think then it's no surprise that people feel that they need to act outside of the law if it's so clear who the law is going to protect.
