But that also means that just by owning a crowbar, you could wind up in federal 
penitentiary...

Especially because if you hit on the prosecuter's daughter that you ALSO hit on 
the judges daughter because they are always WAY cuter.... So bang! You're doin 
5-7 just for owning a crowbar you got at Lowes :-(

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"...
