This is the really important point. Art is about expression, not popularity. Everyone thinks that their art is good, hence their doing it. Popularity does not not make vandalism okay any more than murdering Thatcher should carry a shorter sentence then than murdering Dando.

# Graffiti is fine,
"tagging" isn't.

Basically the TOAP of the graffiti world is what lets it down.

# Yes.
I do not believe that graffiti is not art, despite clearly stating that. What I believe is that its criminal damage status far exceeds its artistic value and that even the best Banksy is no better than the worst tag if it is placed without consent.

The teens would go out tagging. I remember a twunt on the old Weebl forums who used to draw weebl on people's windows.

If I built a wall in your garden and you knocked it down, you could be charged.
