I guess you'd probably get in trouble for calling your officers absolute morons, eh?

I cannot believe this is real.....but it is.......unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!!!!

Idiot.

Sometimes, the word "morons" doesn't quite seem enough.

Just wait until his next traffic stop. His record will show that he is known for passing $2 bills.

If that had happened to me, Best Buy and the city would be paying for my house.....at least.

"It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

It's a sign that they need an IQ test for their cops.

It's a sign that cops can act like out-of-control thugs -- I'm sorry that the bad ones give a bad name to the good ones.

Can you say sue!sue!sue!.I can't believe these morons

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

This is beautiful. Not only were the Best Buy clerks stupid, but the cops are so moronic and uneducated that they didn't know better, either. On the upside, this guy can probably sue and get a lot of money.

I presented one of those joke $1,000,000 bills to a cashier and she told me she didn't have enough in her register to cash it. She was completely serious.

The police were a trifle ignorant, but was being "right" worth being handcuffed to a pole and put in leg-irons?

[FreeManWhoCan]

.. I hope hew can sue them for something at least.. Reminds me of the time I tried to pay with a Susan B. Anthony dollar and the cashier freaked at Walmart..

When you pay with $2 bills, Al-Qaida wins.

[DTogo]

I hear a big $ CHA-CHING $ in the works...

[mystery-ak]

Geeeez....what does 911 have to do with this....were the terrorists passing $2 bills...

Someone contact Snopes...

I love the $2 bill. I get them from my bank all the time. The $2 is the new $1. I use them at convenience stores, valets, etc. Viva $2 !

Can you still get the $1 coins with the Indian babes picture on it, whos name I cannot spell?

If the cops are nervous now, just wait until they're sitting on a witness stand explaining that they're so ignorant that they've never seen $2 bills before. The cops and Best Buy are going to wind up buying this guy a house.

Blame everything on 9/11 and on drugs. I am surprised they didn't arrest him on suspicion of possession. As the number of laws increase and the law enforcers get dumber and dumber you will see these kinds of things more and more.
