JSwish Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Need some legal advice, if anyone has experience or might be able to help. It would be much appreciated. Scenario: -2 friends are out tagging. -Random guy supposedly spots 1 guy tagging a mail box. -Random guy rolls up on 1 friend and asks to see/grabs his hands looking for paint -1 Friend runs away from random guy because he is kind of spooked. -Friend stops running because he states he has done nothing wrong, and was merely running because the guy freaked him out (guy kept up with him) -Random guy calls cops, cops question friend and take pictures (he had some paint on his hands) -Tells cops he ran because guy spooked him, fully cooperates with cops, and is let go. -Weeks later receives 2 fines, 1 for vandalism 1 for criminal mischief. My question is, they didn't arrest him in the first place, he had no paint or anything on him when cops came, and they supposedly found a paint marker or same color paint used to tag on said mailbox. Only "evidence" is the guy who says he saw the guy tagging. I feel like this is all complete bullshit. If anyone has some advice or might be able to help, like I said it would be much appreciated.

aLBERThOFFMAN Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 If you feel the need to ask this on here, your probably a minor. Take the slap on the wrist and stop being a bitch. If you can't handle losing, don't play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CILONE/SK Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 My first question is why you let some guy grab you? My second question is why you let some guy grab you? You are too soft for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only "evidence" is the guy who says he saw the guy tagging. what did you tell the cops? what did they ask you and how did you respond? seems that they're treating the two charges as summaries or low misdemeanors, and didn't arrest you 'cause you were so sweet and cooperative. first arrest?

JSwish Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah, I worded that entry kind of messed up. But it was my friend who got caught, not me. He wasn't arrested, he told the cops he had paint on his hands because he is an artist and was working on a painting earlier at home. He was pretty cooperative. Total the fines are $600. We ran after the guy came up and started grabbing his hands to look at them. He's going to just plead guilty and pay the 2 fines. Yes, we are new to the graff game (my friend and brother turned me on) and, embarrassingly enough, we are in our mid 20s, not kids. Oh, and neither of us have any prior record.

theprotester Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 If we're being serious here, fuck lawyering up, you've already done goofed up - ask for reduced fines, but fuck fighting the charge. Will cost you more than $600 to get a suit. Chalk it up to the game. Bitches love scars. Builds character. Story to tell. Etc. Etc.
