You can also go after public officials' bonds. Every public official must have a surety bond in order to take office (the surety is the underwriter of the bond). It's the oldest way to keep them in check and recover losses you experienced due to the negligence or dishonesty of the public servant. Once the bond has been revoked, it's difficult if not impossible to get another surety company to bond you. These are a good way to clean out compromised mambers of your local board of supervisors.

edit: Yes, I saw mambers but it was too late.
