Apparently this happend in April of 2005. I wonder if there was a lawsuit.

Becoming? That story is from April, 2005.
Sparky beat me to it - and what is the going rate on a civil suit for wrongful arrest? Bet it is greater than $2.

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."

No, dipshit, it's a sign of blatant stupidity in the post-education world.

You got high-schoolers who can't calculate what the change would be for a $6.81 meal when given a $10 bill, and you have fucking retards running regiaters who don't even know that the US Treasury actually prints $2 bills.

That is some funny shit. I can't believe they didn't know that $2 bills were legit. Just another sign this country is going to
