What a sensationalist spectacle:
Investigators have amassed 191 warrants against 65 people tied to a well-heeled Lowcountry gambling circuit that counted a Charleston police officer, a veteran prosecutor, a local schoolteacher and others among its members, authorities said.
The photo above shows suspects surrendering as they are served their arrest warrants by ninja deputies outside the county jail.

Forfeiture laws are great
The cops break in, aim guns at people, steal all the money in play, steal all the money on the person of everyone there, and steal all the money stashed away in the home owner's safe* and then get to keep it all over a misdemeanor offense which only carries a fine.
* - the amount of cash seized from the guy's safe does seem suspicious, but still.

I guess they couldn't afford scramble suits
