    Vista officials declare war on graffiti

    Teen booked on 232 counts of vandalism

    Vista authorities have their own message for taggers:

     

    “We want them to know that we’re going after them, and it’s going to cost them a lot of money — not only that but jail time,” said Elvys Cabrera, the graffiti investigator for the Vista sheriff’s station.

     

    The arrest Monday of a 16-year-old boy who is believed to be responsible for $100,000 in damage from graffiti vandalism over the past year marks the latest of more than a dozen arrests by Vista deputies since March.

     

    The boy has been booked into Juvenile Hall on 232 counts of felony vandalism. The Sheriff’s Department is investigating 85 other acts of vandalism that also may be connected to the teenager, Cabrera said.

     

    The latest arrest was significant, because no one else in recent memory has come close to causing as much damage as the suspect arrested Monday, Cabrera said. Last week, deputies arrested a tagger allegedly responsible for $40,000 in damage over a two-year period.

     

    The suspect arrested Monday tagged throughout the city, but concentrated his graffiti along South Santa Fe Avenue north of state Route 78, Cabrera said. He would tag just about every week, going from place to place and making it difficult for authorities to track him. But interviews with several people on the street, records checks and search warrants unrelated to the suspect eventually led investigators to him, Cabrera said.

     

    The teenager worked alone, although he was part of a “tagging crew” — a loosely associated group of taggers, Cabrera said. Tagging is considered a crime that can lead to joining a gang and committing violent offenses, although that doesn’t always happen.

     

    But scrawling graffiti on public property causes plenty of damage. Vista on average spends more than $100,000 a year painting over graffiti, a city spokeswoman said. The city has launched an initiative to paint murals around the city, beginning with walls along the Sprinter rail line, to discourage tagging.

     

    Besides going after taggers on the street, authorities are also working to make sure stores don’t sell spray paint to minors, which is illegal in California, Cabrera said. Parents also have to keep a closer eye on their children, he said.

     

    “If there’s paint on their hands, if you see the kids’ bedroom full of graffiti, you have to be naive not to think they’re tagging on the street,” he said.

     

    The Sheriff’s Department and Oceanside police began using a new computer program this year to better track taggers. The program, which Escondido police began using in 2006, combines photographic records of graffiti with global positioning system technology. It allows law enforcement to more quickly pinpoint where a tagger is operating.

     

    While the Sheriff’s Department is working with cities and coordinating investigations among substations and with the District Attorney’s Office, the continued fight against tagging won’t be easy.

     

    “What’s frustrating is these young kids have no sense of responsibility,” Cabrera said. “The young kids have no remorse. ‘Yeah, I tagged the place,’ they’ll say. ‘So what?’ ”

    kids are getting cum drunk thats why they post such rediculous comments what happened to just picking up a crapper can and scrawling?? If you practice and pick up miles on your bright neon kicks long enough or cortez running shoes you might make up a crew just as good as msk or even better sky's the limit if you have heart.

    Bet most of these jokesters who will hate on Barack Obama were those who voted for Dubya Bush the son of the inventor of the New World Order. Barack is for the people who want change, truth, & establishment of real New World Order.

BUT I dont consider a sticker or a marker a diss thats funny and rediculously dumb and an ego the size of mt. everest if you think that way. AND class? leave that to the art farts. IDK where you grew up but If I'm dissing a coward I dont give them that much respect, but DO make the name legible enough to let them know your not just hating your stamping! Not some ragtag hating fag with a scrible non existent weak sauce no hand control waste of paint barely legible enough unless your rocking 2nd base size reading glasses. Now go suck your boys weak lame dick no having handstyle can control out there in the UK fag.

    a dis is a dis. can be ugly , can be sh*t! as long as you can read it... it is what it is!
    I'm going to get technical here on this explanation so listen up, even if dude is hated he does have a clean style, yes a diss is a diss but looking at it from a smarter perspective just doodling on a piece looks and gives off a vibe of just plain hate. Where ass if you do a throw over that cat you letting em know its not hate but a plain call out battle type of diss, handle your business type sh*t. Bottom line you wont come out looking like a sorry hater or even worse a toy hater. :) any ways just my 2 cents & enough of my "curb your enthusiasm" and on with some flicks.
