Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 8-323) has been written to include many offenses that might be committed by a juvenile. The Law lists 11 different choices for the hearing officer to impose if it is proven that a juvenile did violate the law. If it is found that someone did graffiti or had materials with the intent of doing graffiti, one of the possible consequences is having driving privileges suspended.

There is another Arizona Law (A.R.S. § 28-3320) that makes a Driver's License suspension for graffiti mandatory. This law includes other offenses in its terms as well. Those include DUI, drinking and driving, drug offenses, any criminal damage charge, and use of a car without permission of the owner.

The reason why driver's license suspension was written into this law is because driving is a privilege and many times when a privilege is taken away, the person wants to work hard to get it back. In this case, the offender might stop doing graffiti because it is important to him or her to be able to drive.
