Albany authorities said the man saw the woman drop the money at the store and could have faced charges in the case. However, because he returned the $30, charges would not be filed.
Said. Huh. They have him on video picking up the money, but not him seeing it…
With the trustworthiness of GA PDs, not sure I’d trust them “saying” anything.

It was real. The cops got shit for it, but they claim the guy saw a lady drop it. In the end, he gave the money back.

Thanks for the link!
And I am sure they track the woman down and gave her back the 30? How much money did it cost tax payers for all this policing?
It doesn’t sound like there was any actual policing involved. They got a webcam still and posted it to social media.

Seems like the lady was littering. The guy was rescuing her from being charged with the crime of littering.
