In
Michigan at least, you can be
arrested for vagrancy if a
cop pulls you over (walking) and you are not in possession of
both a
driver's license (or
state ID)
and at least
three dollars in cash.
It's a
good loophole thing to
arrest innocent people for when they
piss off cops--every time there's a
demonstration or something, the cops usually just
arrest and book everybody without an ID or $3.00 US for
vagrancy. That way they don't have to deal with that
pesky amendment about freedom to gather and protest...
I have to admit, even the
IDEA of it being
a crime to not be in possession of at least
some government money damn near makes me
ill. If it
bothers you too, here's a
quick fix for that
feeling in your gut--take a
marker and draw the
Illuminati symbol on
all your bill-money. It's
technically legal, it
makes a point and it makes the
bad guys look bad. You could
burn your money, but that's illegal (?!) and
costs...still,
lighting a cig with a
dollar bill every once in a while would probably
feel good, don't you think?
