On October 15, 1970, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations
Act (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-1968), commonly referred to as the "RICO Act",
became United States law. The RICO Act allowed law
enforcement to charge a person or group of people with racketeering,
defined as committing multiple violations of certain varieties within a
ten-year period. The purpose of the RICO Act was stated as "the
elimination of the infiltration of organized crime and racketeering into
legitimate organizations operating in interstate commerce".
S.Rep. No. 617, 91st Cong., 1st Sess. 76 (1969). However, the statute
is sufficiently broad to encompass illegal activities relating to any
enterprise affecting interstate or foreign commerce.
Organized crime or criminal organizations is a grouping of highly centralized enterprises run by criminals for the purpose of engaging in illegal activity, most commonly for the purpose of generating a monetary profit. The Organized Crime Control Act (U.S., 1970) defines organized crime as "The unlawful activities of [...] a highly organized, disciplined association.
(A) Commits or attempts to commit or solicits to commit a felony predicate criminal offense; and
(B) That offense is part of a continuing series of two (2) or more predicate criminal offenses which are undertaken by that person in concert with two (2) or more other persons with respect to whom that person occupies a position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management.
(2) A person who engages in a continuing criminal gang, organization, or enterprise in the first degree is guilty of a felony two (2) classifications higher than the classification of the highest underlying predicate offense referenced in subdivision
(a)(1)(A) of this section.
(b)(1) A person commits the offense of engaging in a continuing criminal gang, organization, or enterprise in the second degree if he:
(A) Commits or attempts to commit or solicits to commit a felony predicate criminal offense; and
(B) That offense is part of a continuing series of two (2) or more predicate criminal offenses which are undertaken by that person in concert with two (2) or more other persons, but with respect to whom that person does not occupy the position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management.
(2) A person who engages in a continuing criminal gang, organization, or enterprise in the second degree is guilty of a felony one (1) classification higher than the classification of the highest underlying offense referenced in subdivision (b)(1)(A) of this section.
(c) A person who engages in a continuing criminal gang, organization, or enterprise where the underlying predicate offense is a Class A or Class Y felony shall be guilty of a Class Y felony.
(d) Any sentence of imprisonment imposed pursuant to this section shall be in addition to any sentence imposed for the violation of a predicate criminal offense.
(b) Upon conviction of a crime of violence committed while acting in concert with two (2) or more other persons, the classification and penalty range is increased by one (1) classification.
(c) The fact that the group was not a criminal gang, organization, or enterprise is not a defense to prosecution under this section.

RICO offenses
Under the law, racketeering activity means:
Under the law, racketeering activity means:
- Embezzlement of union funds;
- Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;
- Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
- Money laundering and related offenses;
- Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
- Acts of terrorism.
Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of this chapter and the last of which occurred within ten years (excluding any period of imprisonment) after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity.
The U.S. Supreme Court has instructed federal courts to follow the continuity-plus-relationship test in order to determine whether the facts of a specific case give rise to an established pattern. Predicate acts are related if they "have the same or similar purposes, results, participants, victims, or methods of commission, or otherwise are interrelated by distinguishing characteristics and are not isolated events." (H.J. Inc. v. Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.) Continuity is both a closed and open ended concept, referring to either a closed period of conduct, or to past conduct that by its nature projects into the future with a threat of repetition.

We can believe there exists police departments that do not have a single bad cop; and conversely we can believe there exists police departments that do not have a single good cop.
THE DIRTY RIVERMARKET COP IS MARRIED TO THE MANAGER OF WILLY D'S OFFERING PRIVATE POLICE SERVICES FOR HIS OWN PERSONAL COMPENSATION AND AT THE EXPENSE OF LITTLE ROCK TAX PAYERS!
Three years ago a drunk chick partying hardy at Willy D's, where this crooked cop's wife is the manager, ran right over a sidewalk & plowed a full-sized work truck over my Willy Dog USA hotdog cart in the Little Rock River Market. And nearly killed me, I jump out of the way and was just missed by the vehicle- scary. The River Market Axis of Evil have been trying to cover-up the crime ever since. The drunk was arrested for reckless & DWI 1, blew a .186 alcohol blood level . Served 7 days time served, rehab & 1350 fine.
My Willy Dog USA (RETAIL: $8,000) hotdog cart was replaced by the drunk's insurance company. Willy D's is still afraid that I will sue the crap out of them because they have always been a bunch of R.I.C.O jerks, to say the least. Now it's come back to haunt them- KARMA. Ever since then, this dirty cop has been allowed to harass our business in the River Market.
They have been aware of this dirty cop for THREE years and have just now started to investigate him, because he has recently committed a felony that he CANNOT hide from, neither can this city.

The particular dirty cop that I am speaking of is, Mounted Patrolman Shannon Dewayne Cox, stupid enough to put his dirty cop hands upon me without provocation on TWO seperate occasions & think's that he can hide behind his badge & Jim Crow style corruption at the Internal Affairs Division to bail him out each time he does something dirty.
He loves to trump-up felony charges & put other cop's names on his busts so he doesn't have to go to court alone. He hopes that he could convince enough fellow "boy's in blue" to go along with him and harass Willy Dog USA.
I spoke with MANY cops before making my decisions. THE MAJORITY agree with me. A dirty cop dirt's up everyone. I know he's dirty because I've known the guy for 4 years. I even vouched for him once to LRPD IAD when two beligerent African-Americans kicked out of WILLY D's accused him of racism. And he now has the nerve to put his dirty cop hands on me TWICE.
I know much about him because I KNOW HIM. I know of an anonymous member of the health care profession that accuses him of doctor shopping Viagra. I know that he takes high blood pressure medicine, so this makes sense.
I know that his now WIFE!! (RICO), Carla Farquhar-Cox, drunk serving manager of Willy D's (DWI police report to prove it) used to be the brunt of his "fellatio performance" jokes for four long years. Oh, I KNOW HIM.
How many people know that you give Willy D's selective enforcement services on all of our dime Officer Cox? Nice benefits.
My next questions will be to ACIC, the State Police and the FBI.
Much more to come on this story of racketeers.
