Taggers

What if we fined taggers $200 and made them clean up their mess...

... and give a reward of $200 to anyone leading to a conviction of the little buggers?

Makes sense to me..

Those buggers annoy me! VANDALS!

Fine the parents $200 as well, might make a few of them try to keep closer reigns on the little sh!ts.

we could just make spray paint for taggers with anthrax enfused in it.... problem solved.

or you could go round their place and tag their house, car, drive, face, clothes, PC, and just about everything else.

But do it in Pink and Lime Green

Yeah but...

I'm looking for a way to
1) find out who they are
2) punish them...

the $200 reward seems to be a good way (or we could up it to $500?!?)

You been a victim of this crime MDU?

Wouldn't have thought there was anyone out your way at all... let alone taggers.

Not me personally but they've ventured along SH16 hitting creating their impressions on anything without a pulse.

Who would actually know who these little critters are? I mean a tag is a signature of sorts so it should be easy enough to have them clean up all of their own stuff (and pay for the materials to do it).

I prefer to see it cleaned off too - none of this "paint it over with a random colour" crap. Make it original - take it back to how it was...

Thats a good idea MDU. Alot of the tagging has to do little gangs, find the buggers and fillet them alive

Last October whilst holidaying in Rotovegas I got talking to a local copper, he informed me that they had instigated a programme where all know taggers where collectively held responsible for future tagging.
When new tagging is discovered the next tagger on the list is sent to clean it up!........he assured me the results had been startling and tagging had reduced markedly. Thought it was a good idea myself.

The local coppers usually know... the kids rarely change their tags so it's basicially like a signature... works both ways

All the other kids know who it was and thinks it's cool, but the cops also know who is it and where they live.

They are a bit like Herpes in a way.......... no getting rid of , here to stay

I think they've got or had a programme in Porirua where they targeted the known taggers, had a book with their tags and names next to them, and they found that crime in general dropped a phenominal amount. From memory the cops did the same thing with a family in the Waikato (?) or somewhere and had a 70% decrease in crime (or summat to that extent). I vote just target the source and you'll have good results.
My old man had a dozen beers stolen from his fridge in the office of the hire centre (Kea Hire - Need it Hire it! - Wairoa). He closed the laundry and told the next gang affiliate/member that they were not allowed to hire anything at all until it was returned. Took about a half hour apparently. Hit them at the source -prevention is better than cure.
