Criminally stupid

What's the worst possible place to try to pass off counterfeit money? This criminal mastermind sure found out:
Police say it was no surprise a bogus $50 bill got a Long Island man arrested: He was trying to use it to pay his bail on a traffic charge. The transaction compounded Cyheam Forney's legal problems and landed him in jail.

Police say they spotted the 31-year-old Forney making an illegal left turn in Melville on Thursday and discovered his license had been suspended.

Forney was arrested on a misdemeanor suspended license charge — until officers said he proffered the counterfeit currency as bail money. He was being held early Friday on a felony charge of possessing a forged instrument.
You know, I've been sitting here for a good five minutes trying to think of something funny to write here, but I'm drawing a blank here, foax. I've actually been struck dumb by this guy's stupidity.
