Sounds ridiculous to me. I personally agree with Mike in that dumb laws wouldn't stop me from being helpful to someone who needed assistance.

I'd be willing to bet that there wasn't any kind of problem, and then the guy mouthed off to the cop.
Cops don't like to arrest people. It's a major pain, they have to do all kinds of paperwork, and I'm guessing like referees in FIRST, they don't take pleasure in arresting people (or throwing flags). He probably told the guy "Hey, you can't sell tokens, please stop" and the guy probably got an attitude with him.
Either way, the whole situation is pretty lame.
