Buzi’s 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.

Yikes.
Laws which go against common sense.
There must be a story about how this law originated.  Grin


I'm pretty sure I saw something like this in the US recently too.  How it is illegal in some cities now to give anything to a homeless person.  I mean, I see why they're saying that but at the same time give me some freakin' freedom man!
