Current Events > Hipster tries to pay for ticket with change. Gets choked out and poops self.

(+) Yeah! (+)

When Anthony Sevy got a parking ticket in Royal Oak, he wasn't pleased. When he went to pay his ticket with pennies, he was turned away, choked, and then defecated himself - his attorney claims.

"I don't think that in everyday course of business, we poop our pants or go around defecating ourselves," his attorney Jonathan Marco said.

Let's back up. Sevy went to pay his $10 parking ticket in Royal Oak's 44th District Court in February, but was told he'd have a $1.75 surcharge on his credit card. He wasn't happy and left.
His attorney says he came back to pay with rolls of pennies. He's on video with the court officers and his bag of pennies making what his attorney called a symbolic protest.

People who think they're being rebellious by paying fines with pennies are just assholes. Nobody except the clerks are being punished and they had nothing to do with your shit. The system doesn't care one fuck or feel any impact from your 'protest'.

That said, this is pretty funny

You can't even pay fines in small change. Maybe don't park like an idiot next time.

Well no shit.

Oh wait....

He could have avoided this embrassment by just withdrawing some money.

He did. In pennies.

Didn't Samsung do that to Apple once because of some kind of fine that Apple won a super-petty lawsuit over? I think I read that Samsung paid the fine in millions of pennies delivered by dump trucks.

Edit: Apparently not. Just looked it up.

Why was the defecation even mentioned? Only serves to embarrass him further..

Maybe he shouldn't have gotten a ticket.

Pennies are currency, whats the problem?

Let's make this topic about times you shit your pants.

If the pennies were in rolls its not bad. Theyre bundled and counted at the bank. Its as easy as counting dollar bills.

I did last week. Just a little on my way to work because I overslept and didnt have time to go.

I hate when people pay for still with pennies. The average person at the counter who has little to no power is the person who has to deal with that mess. With that said..

It is not funny this jerk got abused .
---

We know he tried to pay in pennies and crapped himself.

Perhaps the controversy started because he got those confused and handed over a roll of shit.
---

I wish I had a job where something like this would happen. I would count the pennies as slowly as possible then I would end up one or two short and have to count them all over again even slower this time. I bet I could spend at least 30 minutes counting out his pennies.

I remember reading a story like this on Reddit. Some kids came into the store trying to be funny and the guybtook an hour to count all the change. All the other customers in the store went crazy on the kids and they never did it again

A lot of places won't accept payments in small change because it ties up an employee for a long time to count it.

I can't pay you with a $100 bill, I can't use pennies.

FUCKIN' CASH.

I like how he was leaving harmlessly, and the guy comes up and chokes him and slams his ass.

As he was leaving the court house with his back to the officer, the court officer began to choke him out, grabbing him, brought him to the ground. Mr. Sevy passed out and defecated himself," Marco said.

Sevy was then arrested and tossed in jail.

Now he's suing the Royal Oak court officers.

"I don't think anyone paying in penny rolls, whether it's a preferred thing to do for a court clerk, warrants this type of this assaultive behavior and violation of constitutional rights"

With this being on video I hope the guy wins his lawsuit. The court officer had no course to ambush and assault someone just because that guy made him count to twenty(rolls of pennies are 50 cents each and the fine was $10).

This is really messed up

Its also easy to wrap them yourself and short rolls. People still need to count them unless theyre getting them directly from the bank.

It's pretty common knowledge you can't pay for citations in change dude. The guy was being an asshole.

You can also use scales to weigh the rolls. Pretty simple thing to do.

That is a good question, though. How DO you punish a system that makes you angry?

Being civil about it just gets you ignored and snubbed by people with power.

Maybe he said something to the guard. Like he was going to kill him or proclaimed that he was a Nazi and the guard was part of the "choke out a nazi" movement
---

I couldn't watch the video, but if this part is true:

"As he was leaving the court house with his back to the officer, the court officer began to choke him out, grabbing him, brought him to the ground. Mr. Sevy passed out and defecated himself," Marco said.

Then yeah he deserves compensation.

That said, people who pay fines in pennies are fucking morons.

why are people against this guy, because he's a 'hipster'? I'd be mad about a $1.75 charge fee, too, and probably do the same. That's some bs, and I'd inconvenience them, too, for it.

$10 in pennies isnt shit to count, either, and now there's probably going to be a lawsuit over it because the employee got asshurt over having to count to a thousand lmao!
---

Charge fees are pretty standard for paying govt fines via credit card. It costs money to process and they pass that on to you.
---

Wait, they choked him out for doing that, or am I misunderstanding? >.>

I'm against him for being a douchebag..."lol im gonna inconvenience them for making me pay a parking ticket!"...you think the person taking the money at the counter gives a fuck? you're just inconveniencing an innocent 3rd party. Maybe next time he should act like an adult and just take out a $10 bill...he did more to inconvenience himself by trying to go through all this.

I don't think it was making him pay a fine. It was for charging him for using his card to do it, on top of the fine.

No, they waited for him to turn his back and begin leaving the building, then they choked him out. But yes, the man was physically assaulted by a raging court officer.

That seems massively over the top, or just plain unnecessary, if true. Sounds like a big money day for him ultimately, for being assaulted.
