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.

anyone who says toilet papering is fun is selfish. they are only thinking of themselves and not of the people who has to clean up the fun/mess they made. its a waste of toilet paper, its a waste of time. there's no benefit in it. there are lots of other ways to have fun.
