Shoplifting is a prime example. If you walk out of a store without paying , they will ask you to either pay for what you took or call the cops and have you arrested. No court case , no proof.. this is basically the same thing..

Gideon is an idiot. But you are not even close with your analogy. To be more accurate, its not different than any other civil suit. You claim damages, demand compensation, propose a settlement meeting/mediation etc or you file the lawsuit. That's not extortion, that is the legal process.
