The guy is being a dick to the wrong people IMO and as usual the media is making a big deal over it.

I agree. That's like being pissed off about the price of a Whopper so you throw your soda at the cashier.

the fact is that everyone is missing the point. they refused his legal tender. had they not broken the law by doing so none of this would have happened. they should have taken the rolls of pennies with a smile and remember....money is money is what???? thats right money

Agreed, all he did was make himself a target everytime a cop in Bloomfield see's him. If I were a cop in Bloomfield, I'd stop him for what ever I could after this incident.
There was no reason for him to pay with pennies in the first place. He just caused more grief for himself.

And then after 3 stops in that many days I bet that he'll be back in the news saying that he's being harassed. And a slew of lawyer-sharks will be fighting to get him to court....and then what ? you guessed it - he'll have his money back AND some.....
Why the cops feel the need to be overly agressive in cases like this is beyond me....it had nothing to do with the police after he got the ticket....and went to pay his fine.....his what? yes, he went to PAY HIS FINE.....

If police ticket him for legitimate reasons then what can the media do for him?

I was once short 4 dollars on a ticket. I ran to my car and pulled $4 worth of quarters out of it. They took it.

Exactly.
If after x amount of years, someone who has never had a problem with the police, all of a sudden is being pulled over for every single little thing every day, that would be harrasment, especially once it was on the news.
WTF the Police have to do with it is beyond me. Why would they get upset? They got thier money.
If he wanted to be a REAL dick, he could have unwrapped them and gave it to them in a bag.
The guy paid his fine with legal US currency. Yeah, he did it in pennies, but oh well, money is money. Take it, and just be done with it.

Why bother to draw attention? It would put the police in a bad light no matter what. Perception is reality. You are harrassing a young kid becaue he paid in pennies.
Take the money, stop drawing attention to yourself, stop dragging this kid to court for nothing cause he can and will sue the town for all this BS.
He came to court
It said cash is accepted
He paid in cash
They declined to take it as payment
Then they have the balls to put out a warrant for his arrest. That is just being a sore loser.
Again. Take the payment, stop drawing attention to yourself, and everything is fine.

He drew attention to himself by paying in pennies. Why couldn't he just take the $56 he had in paper bills and pay it that way. He drew more attention to himself when he got the media involved. I know the police really have nothing to do with it but lets think here, If you were a cop in that township and some 22 year old kid made your department look bad when all he was trying to do was be a smart a$$, you'd atleast be watching him alittle more closely.

I really don't agree with the course of actions that this guy took to pay the fine. But it is legal tender. Sure he was paying it but he wanted to be a prick about paying it. The route he took, maybe legal, has proven to be more trouble than what it's worth.
If I was the clerk accepting the payment, I would have sit there and have him count the pennies in front of me, then I would accept the payment. The way I look at it is that if he's gonna mess with my time, I'm gonna mess with his.

16 quarters is a far cry from 5,600 pennies.
The issue isn't even that they refused his money....they didn't. He just had to write a DL # on them, most likely so they could trace them back to him if any of them were short. Most banks make you write your account number on any roll of coins that you want to deposit, not really any difference.
Sounds like he's just trying to make a big deal about it for no real reason.

Could have paid with the $56 in pennies, and thrown in an extra roll to cover any 'shortages' and they could 'keep the change'.
As far as the cops being made fun of - they had nothing to do with it - it was the city that didn't take his money. No where did he say that it was the cops fault, or that he wasn't guilty of the ticket.
Attention - yes....he's got it. But the ball is in his court.

private businesses are free to accept whatever form of payment they want. If they only accept 2 dollar bills thats perfectly legal and no one can tell them otherwise. Governments on the other hand are more of a gray area
