sometimes its worth fighting something... but he's just trying to be a smart ass...

Xavier · 12-16-2008, 12:19 PM

Thats what you get for being a wise ass.

The Captain · 12-16-2008, 12:23 PM

hahaha, stickin' it to the man, one penny at a time.

In all seriousness, There is no reason why they shouldn't accept that as money. Pure Bull****.

The only thing i don't approve of was the pitiful amount of "change" jokes by the opening lady.

Keeper1343 · 12-16-2008, 12:28 PM

i say money is money.... atleast he didn't have it all loose and make them count it lol... That would have been much worse

MTuning · 12-16-2008, 12:32 PM

ive done this. they weren't too thrilled about $15 in change.

james_ls · 12-16-2008, 12:34 PM

It's a legit case.

I mean it IS U.S. currency.

They HAVE to accept it.

I 100% completely agree. And now since they're being such dicks about it, take them bitches to court!

SpEcRv9 · 12-16-2008, 12:38 PM

...pennies are money right?....legal tender?...soooo yea cant wait to hear the judges response for this one.

next time i get a tint ticket in whitpain...you better believe im paying 107 dollers in pennies. youll see me on the news next lol.

driftingrx5.7 · 12-16-2008, 12:39 PM

lol to funny why not just use cash instead i would love to see what happens at the court

Scapegoat · 12-16-2008, 12:40 PM

but come on... he went to the bank to specifically get the money in rolls of pennies THEN took it to the court house to pay for the fine.

granted, the court should have accepted the money... but that guy seriously didn't need to be a douchebag from the start of it all...

even though pennies are considered legal tender through the coinage act of 1965, they can be legally refused.

Sorry, I;ve been writing too many papers lately

yeah, but he could have gotten a ticket he thought was bull**** in the first place or he could have been treated unfair, after all it was a jersey cop...so thats understandable.

Actually, the court clerk in that case did not refuse to accept the pennies as payment of the fine; she refused to accept them unrolled and unbowed.

the guy form jersey brought them wrapped, so either bring them wrapped...or just step your game up and use nickels.

so? if he thought the ticket was unfair, you fight it in court... not be a jackass and act like a child by bringing in rolls of pennies.

Keeper1343 · 12-16-2008, 01:01 PM

who cares... cops act pretty pathetic sometimes too. But no one brings that up.

twastheglow · 12-16-2008, 01:04 PM

I think it's funny and I think he should pursue it.

DPancoast · 12-16-2008, 01:07 PM

Haha that's pretty funny.

Scapegoat · 12-16-2008, 01:08 PM

i def think he should pursue it now... the court should have accepted the money... it gets deposited anyway, no big deal...

but that guy is just a plain ol' douchebag. should have just paid his ticket like a normal person and be done with it.
