government taxation under the guise of one purpose but misappropriating the taxed funds for other purposes.. Taxtortion, a lot like Extortion only group versus group instead of the 1 on 1 approach that Extortion uses
When the state taxes you for the roadways, at the gas pumps, or increasing registration/inspection fees,so you can have nicer roadways, and then misappropriates those funds to the state police instead you have just experienced taxtortion.

On January 14th, 2011, 26-year-old Bradley Vaughn was arrested in Franklin, Tennessee - charged with felony theft and resisting arrest.
His victim had accidentally left his cell phone among the merchandise of a local retail store. When he realized he was missing it, he returned to find it had been stolen. Using a borrowed cell phone, he proceeded to text his own phone in an effort to retrieve it - offering a $100 reward for its return.
Bradley Vaughn allegedly returned the text, demanding $180 - effectively holding it for ransom. He instructed the victim to place the ransom amount underneath a glass of ice at a local restaurant.
The victim informed local law enforcement prior to the ransom exchange. Police set up a "sting" operation and, after a scuffle, arrested Bradley Vaughn - attempting to retrieve the bait ransom money left by the victim.
