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.

Toilet Papering should not be illegal. It is a great way to have a fun time on a Saturday night. One thing that is especially fun is to toilet paper someone's car. As long as you aren't egging something, or doing something that will take a long time to clean up, I think that it is OK, both legally and morally.

I think that all you people who said that it should be legal are wrong. You think that toilet papering a house is cool so what if one day you wake up in the morning and see your house all covered with eggs and toilet paper. And if you don't know who it is who are you gonna blame. So why don't you just think about that.
