I really think that's what the demofks think. I know in this thread they've stated several times they didn't understand the confrontation because Floyd didn't do anything. So basically they are saying fk the store owner who does he think he is.
You don't arrest someone over a questionable $20 bill.
You just give them a ticket.
The store clerk is a civil suit action, like you would do for fraud.
There is nothing to indicate Floyd was intentionally passing bad bills.
Post the link that says that. Also, a person impaired behind the wheel is an arrest offense
It is clear that even if one knowingly passes bad currency, it is a misdemeanor and not something you need to arrest a person over.
But since Floyd likely did not know if the bills were bad or not, it likely should not have been a crime at all.
{...
n Minnesota, penalties for knowingly passing or offering fake currency depend on the face value of the currency or the amount of property or services the person attempted to obtain. If the face value or property or services sought are less than $1,000, the crime is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of
one year's jail time.
...}
Passing bad currency that someone passed to you and you were not aware, is not a crime.
Sitting behind the wheel while impaired, is not and CAN not be a crime.
They should not have arrested Floyd at all, and they likely would not have if he was white.
"Sitting behind the wheel while impaired, is not and CAN not be a crime."
You sure about that? It's a crime here and should be. If you are impaired and in charge of a vehicle then you should be arrested; you are here!!! Also in the UK.

What does ‘drunk in charge’ of a vehicle mean?
To be guilty of being drunk in charge of a vehicle, you must be:
- In a public place
- Over the prescribed limit for alcohol, which in England and Wales is 35 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath
- In charge of a vehicle
The first two points are easy to understand. Either you are in a public place, or you are not. Also, a breath test either shows that you are over the prescribed limit, or you are not. However, there is no set definition of what it means to be ‘in charge’ of a vehicle. The courts are reluctant to pinpoint precisely what constitutes being in charge of a vehicle. Typically, it is any situation in which:
- You have control of a vehicle, and
- There is a reasonable prospect that you will drive
What does being in control of a vehicle mean?
So, how do the courts determine if you were in control of a vehicle and if there was a reasonable prospect that you would drive? Again, there is no set definition. It all depends on the circumstances.
Usually, being in control of a vehicle means that you have the keys in your possession. In other words, you could have driven the car, had you wanted to. As to your intentions, this will come down to your behaviour on the day/night in question.
If the court decides that you did intend to drive, then the timeframe will be compared to the alcohol level in your system. So, you may say that you intended to drive the morning after the night before. But if your blood alcohol content would still have been above the prescribed limit, you will be guilty of the offence.
Examples of being drunk in charge
People are often caught out by a drunk in charge offence. Normally what happens is that they drink alcohol and then return to their vehicle for a temporary period. They may intend to sleep in the car, they may have lost their house keys, or they may have been separated from their friends. Whatever the reason, they are found in or near their vehicle while over the prescribed limit.
The keys might be in the ignition, whether through force of habit or to enable the operation of the windows or heating. However, this is not a prerequisite of being drunk in charge. The accused may have the keys in their pocket. They may even be curled up in the backseat or the passenger seat, rather than the driver’s seat.
There are numerous examples of what might amount to being ‘drunk in charge’. Every case depends on the circumstances. Ultimately, it comes down to whether you could technically have operated the car – because you had the keys on your person. And whether you intended to drive, either immediately or at some point in the future, while you were still over the legal limit."
Being drunk in charge means that you were in control of a vehicle while over the prescribed alcohol limit. This differs to drink driving.
