The article says $780. Either it, or you, is off by a factor of 10. Furthermore, it looks like this won't cost the state a penny.

It'll cost police $780 to correct the decals. The money will come from the small profits made by the prison division that makes things like license plates and stationery for state offices.

This is a very funny prank, with almost zero consequences. I'd say you need to relax. Perhaps have a nice ham dinner, eh? Oink.
