LA County to hold taggers’ parents liable for graffiti
Parents will soon be held liable if their children are caught tagging property in Los Angeles County, according to an anti-graffiti ordinance approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors.
The ordinance will go into effect Sept. 18 and will allow the county to recover costs of removing graffiti. The county can also recoup unpaid costs by placing a lien on the property belonging to a tagger’s parent.
Awesome…
And, my favorite part:
According to the ordinance, graffiti costs more than $520 to remove, and another $665 to apprehend each culprit.
I want to see the actuarial tables for those calculations!
