That's pretty awesome - I would've never thought of that..
But no, I don't see how this alone could make you a prick.
As far as I'm concerned, what they did is no different than stopping you at the exit and saying that you must pay $100 before you leave. It's extortion at the best, unlawful seizure and unlawful detainment at worst.
What a racket, though. If I ever get short on money, I'm definitely just throwing some boots on cars and seeing how much I can rip people off for.
