Tagger Injunctions

Los Angeles City Atty. Carmen Trutanich wants to give police the ability to arrest "taggers" simply for hanging out together, without having to catch them in the act. "I'm going to put together an end-of-days scenario for these guys," Trutanich said. "If you want to tag, be prepared to go to jail. And I don't have to catch you tagging. I can just catch you . . . with your homeboys." I think that this is wrong b/c innocent people might get in trouble just b/c the police might mistake them from regular people just hanging out to taggers loitering. This graffiti so called "vandalism" is not always just art but it also lets other people express themselves or lets the issue around the world to be brought up and seen.
