Graffiti "artists" just paint over each other's work constantly, so would they be in commission of a federal crime by defacing a rival graffiti crew's tags? Would the owner of property defaced by the Crips or Bloods street gangs be in violation of the RICO act for supporting gang activity with this graffiti, which could not be legally removed? Does public property now become private property through commission of vandalism, provided enough square inches of the park/train/bus/police horse/etc are covered?
