I have noticed that there are more and more "special unit" police officers assigned to graffiti, they are the ones you need to watch out for.
These special units will usually be assigned to 1 neighborhood and more than likely will spend 80% of their time in the "HOT SPOTS" basically any area in your city where there is allot of graffiti, maybe its a door or window where allot of big writers hit up daily. Alleys are probably the most popular areas, watch out for alleys that have multi level parking structures they can be watching you from the second or third level. They also stake out graffiti shops to see who comes in and out also.
They will follow you; EVERYWHERE... they won’t catch you at first. They wait till they have a huge amount of evidence to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. These new special units are specially put out there to investigate graffiti. There job isn’t to run up and grab you, they will wait and wait and wait till they can fuck you over. Remember they have video and digital cameras to record everything. The had a video of the hommie catching a tag and smoking herb, these guys are sneaky.
When people rat on each other it usually never goes anywhere, I know cops keep a record of who writes what, from what crew, and area. Just because they have your name with your Graff name doesn’t mean they will raid your house, or even take it seriously.
Remember these guys are after the big fish and will use toys as bait to get info. They usually travel in groups of 2. The only thing you can really do is to keep your home clean, do not have your Graff name up in your house anywhere, and try to keep your block clean.
I have had a few hommies go down like this, not even knowing.
