How often does anyone get charged for this other than a few token made to be an example for the most egregious behavior? Price gouging laws seems to be mostly a threat rather than an actual attempt at regulating pricing. It's similar to how the police will arrest huge numbers of people during a protest and then drop the charges against almost all of them the next day. The backbone of the protest had been broken so it no longer mattered if they swept up a bunch of bystanders with protestors and rioters as they're all let go. I wonder how well any of these gouging laws would stand up in court if the state didn't quickly drop charges when challenged.
