Aren’t there bounties paid for catching and convicting grafitti artists in LA? I thought I remembered reading an article a few years back about a security guard videotaping about 300 grafitti artists for a $1000 bounty each upon their conviction.

i know of a business in the LA basin that was looking at buying an unoccupied and heavily ‘tagged’ building that was told by a ‘community activist’ that any attempts to repaint would be seen as interfering with the first amendment rights of the neighborhood and would not be tolerated. Lawsuits and media coverage were promised. The business passed on the build and several years late the building is till unoccupied.
