Well, you have to unpack "prima facie" a little there. It means "at first glace" or "before any rebuttal" or similar things. It means that if you have a crowbar the prosecutor (if he's bored enough, or you hit on his daughter) can make a case against you and maybe get you to court, but if you can say "sometimes I need to open crates; see, here's an opened crate in my garage!", the judge should then say "have a nice day". For some value of "should"... DC
