There is no such thing as Illegal Graffiti. Freedom of expression is our right dictated by the first amendment. Expression through colored media via a spray of paint.
News Media today displayed a story on the increasing Graffit problem. Los Angeles is covered with it, and the tax dollars are being pumped into fighting for the cause. What is the cause? A pristine city with not a single mark on it, the countless criminal artists in jail or maybe prison for exaggerated coloring on the walls. The News has better things to report, people should have more important things to care about.
The wonderful state of california spends countless tax dollars on the cleaning of graffiti. They spend even more tax dollars to the law enforcement officers to track down and investigate "notorious" taggers in internet chatrooms, youtube, and myspace. Am i the only one that thinks thats a huge waste of our tax dollars? I feel like im taking crazy pills. Here's a bright idea. Legalize the shit. With Tagging on certain walls and areas legal, the true artists behind some of the beautiful array of bombs, tags, and burners would be free to display their work.
The dangerous aspects of tagging are directly related to the illegality of the act. Why would you feel the need to tag an overpass if the wall down the street is huge and legal to spray on.
If and when we come to terms with a legalization like in such countries such as Germany, we might still have some artists in this country with talent.
Fun Fact: Anti-Bush graffiti has been found in 25 different countries.
Graffiti has long been around and won't be stopped in the near future.
