ok lets take a look at this.....

Guy is apparently not the happiest after being told he must pay for installation. He decides to have some fun and pay in $2 bills KNOWING that the person taking his money will give some sort of unorthodox reaction. The cashier and management see smearing ink on the bills and can't be sure of the bills validity. They have every right to make sure they are getting their money. I don't believe its the best way to go about things, but the guy asked for this when he decided to get funny with Best Buy. Anything you purposely do to heighten the level of suspicion is at you own risk when it comes to money.

If you don't want to be "Humiliated" then don't give them a reason to.........

Really? And even if best buy had their panties in a wad, how come the police didn't realize this guy was a long-standing business owner in the community? What happened to address checks, checking police records, etc?
I mean geezuz, who the [censored] counterfits $2 bills anyway?
Was it worth arresting a man over a lousy $114 when he has his own business in town and probably generates a significant portion of revenue? It isn't like they couldn't arrest him later if they checked again and the bills turned out to be bad?

Now if they were 57 $20 bills that would be different...
