No. In the normal part of North America, money can be used to pay for things.

I guess it's only where douchebags run rampant where they can pull stunts like these.

About a month ago, I drove through a town known as a speedtrap. I always do up to, but not over the limit at all, drive safely, and pay more attention through here.

Regardless, I was pulled over for driving normally. After some harassment from the cop, he gave me a ******* loud/modified exhaust ticket.

Court date is in about two weeks, I'm counting the pennies as I speak...

why don't they just take the fuckin pennies? so what, one $9/hr jerkoff has to go to the bank to make a deposit.

"I'd like to pay the fine in pennies. I have seven thousand pennies here" (giggle, smug look, waiting for response)...

"okay thank you"

end of story.
