Re: 'Graffiti Teen' Hit By Subway

The vandals squad based out of CI has a data base with thousands of taggers. Most of the time, the vandals squad know the tagger. Here is the issue, Lets use the tag JA ONE, He has been around since the 1970's. Now lets say I am a rival vandal. Now I go out and go on a bombing spree but instead of using my tag, I use JA ONE. Now if the NYPD were simply able to go to JA ONE's residence and arrest him, he would be arrested for the tags that I did as a copycat. This is a major enforcement problem. THis is why they have to be caught in the act. Another terrible loophole. Lets say JA One went out one night with three color spray cans and tagged up 25 surfaces. LEts say he used red for 23 surfaces, white for 1 and black for one. Now he was caught with the black, he could only be charged with the ONE tag!! Unless he had red residue on his hands or someother way to prove it was him.
