Tagging is a way to make anything look untidy and ruined; and what for, nothing but ego. Graffiti is messy, annoying , destructiveand costly to clean up.]]> 2017-08-28 21:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183249579 rheanna5njx https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183250491 In the eyes of the Christchurch city council graffiti is a crime which when caught can be fined up to $ 2,000. In Newzealand it is illegal to damage or deface any property which is not your own. Furthermore it is illigal to preform graffiti without council consent or the owner of the property you wish to create graffiti on. For a first tagging offence, involving just a single case of tagging and with no permanent damage, you’d normally get a fine of between $100 and $200. As you commit more and more graffiti crimes the fine gets more costly.]]> 2017-08-28 21:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183250491 rheanna5njx https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183251978 Since 2006 the Auckland council has spent nearly twenty million dollars on cleaning up graffiti. Graffiti cleanup is costing Christchurch ratepayers nearly $900,000 a year. People volunteer to clean up graffiti but you still need something to clean it off. Equipment costs money and the graffiti artist is not likely to help pay for or clean up the annoyance they have created.]]> 2017-08-28 21:27:40 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183251978 rheanna5njx https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183253726 Tagging is mostly about ego; putting your name in plain sight for all to see. People can put themselves in serious danger to tag a hazardous area such as the top of a building.]]> 2017-08-28 21:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/rheanna5njx/nquexnnz54nm/wish/183253726
