Question:

What law is broken when you toilet paper a house?



Answer:

In Arizona, A.R.S. §13-1603 states that if you throw, place, drop or permit to be dropped on public or private property any litter, destructive or injurious material and do not immediately remove it, you can be charged with a misdemeanor (jail time and a fine) or a felony (prison time and a fine) depending upon what was placed on the property. Toilet paper could be considered 'litter' and therefore, toilet papering a house might result in being charged with a crime under this statute. Most states have similar laws - you could call your local police department and ask about the laws in your state.

yall i don't think egging is cool at all. If I woke up and my house was egged and car and everything, I would be mad because eggs ruin paint jobs. If I woke up and my house was rolled, I would be glad because I know someone wants revenge and it isn't that bad :D
