I don’t get it, how does depositing a check become a police matter?
PS: It says cash first and deposit further down, I’m assuming deposit must be the correct part.

Edit: PPS. I know there is racism and this happens in USA, but the amount of amateur hour from the Banks procedure, to the people working there and the police responding to a non issue is mind numbing for a person coming from Denmark, where banks are run professionally, and the police almost is too.

Racist bank employees made it a police matter when they assumed he was passing a fraudulent check and called to have the guy arrested for being a negro in possession of money.

But how do they “assume” this? And why does the police accept it without any evidence?
I mean the amateurish incompetence is staggering.

Isn’t it normal procedure to deposit the check until it’s cleared?

First time hearing about America?

No, I know this happens, I just don’t get how the amateur hour process is allowed to continue?
