To crack the police defense that the incident is a "purely civil business dispute," activists leverage a legal loophole. Brian signs over legal ownership of a $1,000 Star Wars set to a state-regulated public raffle hosted under an exempt religious/non-profit framework. A local family wins the raffle. When the manager refuses to hand over the prize to the little girl who won, the store officially interferes with a state lottery scheme—a criminal Class B felony. Police are called to investigate, but local officers actively threaten to arrest the filmmakers instead.
