Oh for Pete's sake...the cashiers are stupid, the police are stupid and the spokesman blaming it on 911...stupid.

The Baltimore police industry is infested with Cleaseaus!

[valleygal]

After you do, report back. :)

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

I tell you what wuss, if I may call you by your first name. If it was within a hundred miles of me I'd be headed there right now with a pocket full of $2 to make fun of them. When you get arrested for doing something legal it's time to raise hell.

BTW Just who do you suggest we call in the future to ask permission to legally do something.

This should be good for a couple hundred grand.

The test of legitimacy for a merchant to detain a customer is "resonableness." This fellow will have no problem locating a lawyer who will ultimately ask a jury to determine whether the conduct of Best Buy, not the police, was reasonable under the circumstances. Based on the report posted here, it was not and Best Buy should be prepared to get out its checkbook.

Some fun horror stories about Best Buy.

Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: "It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."

i did a google search and came up wih a graduation photo from Bill Toohey's police academy

I did not know that. Very interesting. Thanks!

[Leaping Lizard]

Now that's scary.

He just got his house paid for and stocked with a lot of nice Best Buy electronics.

Criminy what a pack of retards.

If it's any consolation to you, I always ask for $2 bills whenever I enter a bank. It's a "thing" with me.

Hang in there, and never let 'em see you sweat!

[Doctor Raoul]

How many $2 bills in a Million Dollars? Well I mean how many $2 bills in two thirds of a Million Dollars?

His lawyer will get a third of the Million Best Buy will be paying him.

"Susan B. Anthony angered so many people in her time that shopkeepers would refuse to take her money. Shows us that even back in her day, nobody wanted to take a Susan B. Anthony dollar."

ROFLMAO!

Or if you bought fingernail clippers for your plane trip!

[TitansAFC]

heh.

"BTW Just who do you suggest we call in the future to ask permission to legally do something."

ROFLMAO. I can see the Bob Newhart routine now.

"Hello, Police? I'd like to ask permission to spend my money...no, no, it's MY money...yes, it's real...well, I need your permission because I heard somebody got arrested for spending THEIR money, and I don't want...yes, it's NOT COUNTERFEIT, I said that...I don't know why he was arrested either, probably Baltimore PD was...yes, I KNOW Baltimore is full of dumbasses..."

heh heh

The name is Sacajawea

I can never forget that name. Back when I was in Junior High another student told me about a great book that she had read called Sacajawea. However she mispronounced the name and it came out more as sock it to ya. The television show Laugh In was still on the air and I thought my friend was referring to a book about the show. Boy was I disappointed when she lent the book to me.

[redheadtoo]

I know someone that has an authentic $10,000 bill

I can't imagine how your friend happened to have a bill that is only passed between banks and has never circulated into the public.
