Buzis plans to stage a Hidden Cash event in Paris, however, came to an abrupt end this week after police sent him a letter informing him that it was against the law to distribute money in public in France. The offense is punishable by six months in jail and a 30,000 euro ($40,000) fine.

By the way I contacted my local police to know more about it

French police are absolutely insane. Read this Reddit post about one particular French policemans' hate for Bitcoin: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/21cp72/french_customs_arrested_me_for_saying_the_word/

Looks that way when I go to France next am going to get a mega phone and start shouting I use Bitcoin I have Bitcoin see if I get arrested. At the same time shit like that from the Police is stupid I would of kept my gob closed when being questioned by police until I had my solicitor present or answered some questions about it all but what they did is illegal to do anyway without any proof other than using the word Bitcoin my legal firm would of had a filed day way them and took legal action for damages and costs
