Apparently paying your $35 parking ticket with pennies will get you arrested, assaulted, and then accused of assaulting an officer in Winnipeg. They will take cash but apparently they won't take pennies, and tell you to leave. These fine WOMEN officers despite being told they are video taped are showing some fine police behavior. They also were trying to force me to stop filming this video. I told them I have freedom of the press and I can do whatever I want. They also refused to give me their names, show, or present anyone with their badge numbers. They also in the second video get to the point where they are telling the other officers arriving on scene that the man was fighting them. Watch the video and clearly you can see that he did not fight the officers and they were using excesive force. Also despite me mentioning this the police woman in the second video waves her had at me, and is like "PFTTT that's your side of it". I then mention again I am video taping this.Loading Poll.....

Sad, but surprisingly, they have the law on their side *blink*
Coins and banknotes issued and not recalled by the Bank of Canada are legal tender.
The Currency Act places limits on the amount that is legal tender in coins.
There is case law that the method of payment must be mutually acceptable in a contract. I don't know if that would apply to paying a ticket, since that isn't a contract.
The limits are:
(2) A payment in coins referred to in subsection (1) is a legal tender for no more than More..

That doesn't entitle you to get belligerent, start screaming and swearing at people, and shoving boxes of pennies at them. That's what they were arrested for, not for paying pennies.

@Ham_Sandwich27 She said, "take your pennies or you will be arrested". Open and shut. Arrested for leaving pennies with them. If they force you to give them money, they should take the money, not start bickering about it. If they don't want the money, they should not demand it. You are not there to buy a donut, you have no choice. They will arrest you for not paying it too. And the bitch just used her government employee buddy buddy relationship with the cops to dismiss a material witn More..

No arrested for creating a disturbance, which is exactly what this person did. The "take the pennies and leave or you;ll be arrested" was the cop giving the moron an opportunity to cease and desist.
Debating whether the city should accept pennies as payment is a completely different argument, and has nothing to do with whether people should be arrested for creating a disturbance.

Did you even listen to the video? Did you hear how the guy was acting towards the clerk? You think yelling, swearing, intimidating, and shoving boxes of pennies at innocent city cleks is acceptable behaviour when you're pissed off that you have to pay a parking ticket?
Fortunately, CIVILIZED societies consider this "creating a disturbance" or "disturbing the peace", which is exactly what he was arrested for.

The uploader is a dirtbag -- and one main reason America is screwed.
These people were obviously looking for trouble and baiting the police.

In Canada businesses and Government offices have the right to refuse payment in large denominations of coins. The only place that can't refuse is a bank which can refuse unrolled coins in large amounts. At least that is what i was told.

@Aariss Here in the U.S. there's something called legal tender, and if someone wants to pay with pennies they have to be accepted(well they don't have to accept them, but that puts them in a position to be charged with crimes and/or sued.

@EmrysM Found this thought it might be informational right from the DoT.
http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Currency/Pages/legal-tender.aspx
As a public charge it would have to be taken.
This one is for Canada

@Aariss I was referring to the government mostly, creditors apparently also have to accept legal tender. Still not sure about Canada though. Here in the U.S. there was a dispute over a car being towed(supposedly due to corrupt practices, thus the person paying to get it out of the lot it was being held in paid in pennies to protest the injustice) payed in pennies and the people there refused to accept them, this led to police being called and the police didn't know what to do so they all sat the More..

@EmrysM Yeah as far as i can tell ..In the US all public services and debts HAVE to take them. Private businesses can limit what they want. In Canada each coin has a limitation to how much is classed as Legal tender you HAVE to take.

@pinkyfx you go out of your way to get 3500 pennies to pay a $35 parking ticket they can argue they don't have the facilities to count and store 3500 pennies.

@Aariss They have the box or bag he came in with. Ridiculous argument. It is an annoyance, that's all, but it is all real money. If he does it to stick it to the man, that is what the man will take, because the man demanded money. Paying in protest is no protest if it is not an inconvenience to them. They should be forced to take shitstained aids money if that's what the victim of their laws gives them, simply because he has no choice but to pay them.

@wellybub Actually in Canada, Legal tender with coins is actually capped.. for Pennies legal tender is $0.25 it's in our laws so the MOST the HAVE to accept is $0.25. They can charge a conversion fee for the rest if they want or just not accept it.

Paying in pennies? C'mon. You were antagonizing them on purpose. Also, from what the officer said, you didn't get arrested for paying in pennies. You got arrested for becoming aggressive with the officers.

@BasilHoneycup She said "take the money with you or be arrested". Not "you are disturbing the peace". You can't arrest a man for disturbing the peace when he is LEAVING THE SITUATION. The peace would have been there, if they had not followed him and confronted him for leaving the money. If they don't like the money, then can throw it in the trash. He did his part in paying them the money they requested. They should be thanking him, not arresting him.

Try taping the cops in the US and you risk a serious beat down. In this case I kind of wish she got one.
