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.

look, toilet papering somebody's house isn't that big of a deal. it's not that tough to clean up, even if it does get wet; trust me, i've cleaned it several times. it's just paper for god's sake. and to the people that are complaining because it is illegal: if you get caught, it's your own fault you weren't careful enough. i've been TPing hundreds of times, and have had several close calls, but i've never been caught by the authorities. if you aren't good enough not to get caught, you need to be doing something else. like breaking the speed limit. it's harder to get caught doing that a

Hey, here is an idea. If it's just harmless fun, just TP your own house. Noone will call the police and you can even have fun cleaning it!

TPing is just simple fun! I went last night (2:30 am *good time to go, everyone is asleap*) and got a friend of mine really bad with some friends... like 100 rolls haha. We even put a stroller in her yard. Sure it's a pain to clean up, but it's not that bad and it shows you either have friends or someone to TP. I've had my house hit, and it was really bad. Did I care or whine to the police? NO. I understand that they are just having fun, and they understood I was just having fun when like 15 friends and I covered their houses with over 150 rolls. Quit complaining and have some fun with life, b
