So if I am at a store and the clerk gives me a $10 bill as part of my change, and I use that $10 in another store that marks it positive as fake, I would get charged for forgery???
WTF????
A defense attorney would argue that the state of mind required wasn't there because the act wasn't done knowingly or intentionally. Of cousre the new Communists don't care about small important details like that because they enjoy cracking their whip and watching people writhe in pain a little too much.
Yes, as a matter of fact. The last one to hold the bill before it gets identified is ipso facto the forger or the utterer of a forged instrument.
