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.

in the town i live in toilet papering is not illegal as long as you take the cardboard rolls and the plastic the paper came in, we had a run in with a police officer as we were leaving the house he was ok with it as the person we were tping was a freind, but we were out past curfue so he wasnt happy about that...he was off duty and not in his city tho...so he couldnt really do anything. but toilet paper is biodegradable and doesnt hurt anyone so have fun with it...

We have a little league baseball group and a tradition of toilet papering the house of friends. We do it to each other back and forth. Recently, we toilet papered a friend's house and the toilet paper somehow flew into the neighbor's car about 20 feet away. He threatened to call the police.
