typically a fine and/or community service.  possible jail-time depending on criminal history and the extent of the damage, but most likely not to exceed one year.  these laws are usually set by state government under property damage laws.  Also, owner of vandalized property may sue for damages in civil court.

Depends on the state and how fast you were going. We'd need to know those first. But I do know if your state uses the point system, you may be looking at a suspension due to the tickets.

It depends..\n\nSometimes, its a deliberate act of rebellion, which straight up shows disobedience to authority and to the law.  That graffiti's intention is most powerful.\n\nThen there is simply more artistic-oriencted graffiti, where the person is more artistically-inclined and doesnt care for making rebellious statements -- they are making an art piece (in the process, they break a law).\n\nThen there is the most simplistic gang terroritory graffiti, which is as primitive as cheetahs peeing in africa to mark their territory.\n\nITS WRONG, ON EVERY LEVEL. just thought i'd break it down.\n\nI think the person gets thrill out of doing it and seeing people react to it.

Depends on the state....in Texas for example, there is no cap on fines...and if you receive two or more citations during one year, the state will send you a bill for surcharges ranging from $100.00 to $2500.00.\n\nFighting the automated tickets can be tough; especially if you are guilty.  If in fact, you are not guilty, request a trial by jury.  If the trial ever happens, the juries are usually sympathetic to the camera cases.  In Texas, they were banned when a state judge received a ticket in the mail for doing 328 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone in a Buick.\n\nThe best way to handle any ticket if you have a clean record, is to request defferred adjudication or request to complete defensive driving course and the offense will be dismissed.\n\nGood Luck and drive safe!

likely some jail time, considering the amount in question.  since it's the 1st offense, i wouldn't say it's a significant am't of time.  restitution is a given, and probation thereafter...at least 18 mos.

Fines will be assessed. It is best that you contact them first.

You would have to read the DUI statute for your state. Most statutes specify that in order for the stiffer penalties to be assessed, the suspect has to be convicted of DUI, not just arrested for it. \n\nOn a side note: What the hell are you doing with someone like that. He obviously didn't learn the first time and now wants to get pulled through the wind wing for refusing to get out of the car. Get a better BF and have a better life.

I think it is illegal...I also think that it's stupid for it to be illegal. When I was a teenager we (as a youth group) would TP peoples homes as a form of flattery. It would mean we thought they were cool. I've had my house TP'd, I think it's funny! I'd rather be tp'd than have graffiti sprayed everywhere.

Most states are members of a compact and exchange conviction information. If the offense in state A is also an offense in state B where you have your license, state B will give you the points that the offense would merit under its laws.\n\nHere is the Penna. information sheet on that (PDF): http://www.dot10.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/fs-dlc.pdf

in law, public reprimand amounts to a scolding by the judge in a court case without a fine. basicly letting them know they are getting off this time, but if they come before the judge again, they won't be easy on them. mostly done in white collar crimes.

Probably 1 -2 years probation ...maybe pay some fines, or do community service for a certain number  of hours

If you don't go to court to deal with your current violation, the court will issue a 'bench warrant'. This means they are actively seeking you and will arrest you if you are caught doing ANYTHING including littering.\n\nIf you really want to avoid maximum jail time, go to the court and plead before a judge. Offer to do community service, acknowledge the offense, and most of the time the judge will be lenient. If you don't, you WILL eventually be caught and you'll get NO mercy from the court.

There are three levels of crimes. Felonies (the worst), misdemeanros (in the middle), and citations/violations of local (city or county) ordinances.\n\nSpeeding tickets and parking tickets are both examples of violations/citations. So is jay-walking, littering, and many other minor crimes. However, like any other matter, ignoring it will only make things get worse. The citation will include instructions on what you are charged with, and how you can respond.\n\nFollow the instructions. If you think it's really wrong, consult with an attorney.
