The man was arrested after he tried to pay taxes with bills of 1 dollar

In Texas, a man was arrested last week while trying to pay property taxes to bills of $ 1.

According to the police report, the 27-year-old Timothy Andrew Norris tried to pay the $ 600 property tax with a crumpled dollar bill.Tax officials have refused to pay because it was their job much harder. Norris was then asked to leave the tax authorities by a police officer who was in the office.

When Norris refused to leave until they accept his payment, a police officer was immediately caught and brought in handcuffs. When he tried to move away from a police officer, he was thrown to the ground and taken into custody for criminal interference and resisting arrest.The report states arrest, "Timothy Andrew Norris, was asked to leave the tax office. Poslicijski Mayor Smyth was accused Norris for disrupting work and efficiency of the tax office trying to pay for $ 600 worth of property tax with bills of $ 1.The notes were folded so tightly that the staff of the tax office should be around about six minutes unfolded each bill. "

Norris was released on bail of 500 dollars.

Similar silent protests in this way was organized by activists in the past, but rarely has anyone ever been arrested.Last year we we reported on the case of bloggers called "Bacon Moose", who paid fines of $ 137 all the bills of $ 1.Every one-dollar bills were carefully folded in origami pig and charged in two Dunkin Donut boxes.The protest was braver than this, but Bacon Moose never reported any punishment, after the "origami banknotes" came to pay a fine.
