Placing unauthorized devices or advertisements along a highway is a crime in Massachusetts, although not a very big one - it's subject to a potential $10 to $100 fine plus recovery of the cost of removing the devices or advertisements. There also are more stringent laws against defacing public or private property - but since the devices (at least in NYC) were only attached to metal by magnets, it's not clear that any property was defaced.

I suspect Turner will be more than happy to pay Boston for the cost of removing the devices. They've received more than $700,000 in free publicity as a result of this stunt.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Trying to inflate this to "IT LOOKED LIKE A BOMB! THEY INTENDED THAT!", as many, especially officials in Boston, seem to be doing, is just absurd.

$700,000 is the easy part. Turner starts hitting a bumpy road once several hundred thousand people file a class action lawsuit for all the aggravation associated with this thing -- and Turner faces the possibility of paying out a 9-figure settlement.
