I wonder if the guy had dropped a Morgan Silver Dollar on the ground would have the cops ticketed him for littering or tasered him for circulating constitutional money?
Original source
CLEVELAND -- A judge has dismissed the case of an Elyria man ticketed for littering after giving money to a homeless man.
A Cleveland police officer fined John Davis $344 after the money fell to the ground as he handed it out of his vehicle window to the homeless wheelchair-bound man on May 17. The donation came at a busy freeway interchange.
The judge threw out the case on the basis that money didn't constitute trash. (LOL the judge threw out the trash case! - that's gold, Judge Judy never comes out with such puns)
Davis said he is relieved by the decision and talked to reporters afterwards.
"I'm happy. It's done. It's over and they dropped it. 'Would you have done anything differently?' Yes. 'What?' Not hand money out the window to anybody."
