<p>[QUOTE="Tinpot, post: 1431375, member: 35836"]they'll be more careful the next time around! I'm against suing for the most part, unless its for a legitimate reason like trying to end the ever increasing police state in America. How the heck are the cops so stupid to arrest a guy for using $2 dollar bills? Heck even if it was some goofy guy trying to pass off fake (lets say $3 dollar bills), is it the most logical thing to do is arrest him and spend tax payer money on a trial and possible imprisonment? How about using a little common sense, confiscating the fake bills and maybe give him a written warning or just tell him he got lucky this time but if it happens again he will be in trouble. Just because the law states you can put somebody in prison for X amount of time doesn't mean its the right or logical thing to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why is this guy getting arrested for having one fake $50 dollar bill? Anyone can easily get a fake bill without knowing it, not all places check bills for being fake with a marker. (even big bills) So you could easily get it in change or have been paid the bill in a transaction. The arrest makes no sense unless they had evidence he was producing or knowingly passing along counterfeit (working with the producer).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
