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.

Me, my bro, and my cousin went to get this kid back that got us twice. We only used about 30 rolls on him, but all of it was in the top of his trees. We grabbed about 50 newspapers from around the neighborhood and threw em in his yard at about 5 in the morning. We took a dump on his porch and whipped it on his door. Mounted the deer decorations he had in his fron tyard . Smashed a pumpkin is his driveway. Yea, this kid ain't talkin to me anymore.

IT DEFINATELY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. It's being disrespectful. If I didn't ask for you to do it, then don't complain about the consequences. It keeps you away from drugs? Whoa, You seriously need to reevaluate your life because that is an unbelievably pathetic excuse for doing something like that. So it's okay to burn people's houses or run over animals just because it keeps you from drugs? GROW UP AND GET A &%$*@$# LIFE.
