    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.

    bullcrap. my friends and I go TPing all the time, and if its out of fun, then ppl shouldnt get mad...plus we've been caught by the cops twice. both times the cops caught us, they took us to the door and made us apologize and clean it all up, so whatever...but seriously, people need to get lives if they are going to consider TPing a real crime that's punishable by time in prison. I mean, people are KILLING and RAPING other people, since WHEN did TPing rank up with that stuff?! TP-er 4 Life - Britt
