I wish that any and all perpetrators of illegal graffiti on public properties in Salt Lake County, Utah, would please review this strict legal warning from a first-rate team of criminal-defense attorneys.
A key section of their copyrighted blog from the Salt Lake City-based Intermountain Legal private law firm states:
"Utah Laws Against Graffiti and Criminal Mischief
"Graffiti charges vary widely in severity depending upon the amount of money necessary to remove the graffiti or repair or replace the damaged item:
"Less than $300 — Class B misdemeanor
"Between $300 and $1,000 — Class A misdemeanor
"Between $1,000 and $5,000 — Third-degree felony
"More than $5,000 — Second-degree felony
"Vandalism — called criminal mischief under Utah law — is the willful destruction or defacing of the property of another. It can be graded anywhere from a Class B misdemeanor for less than $500 in damage to a second-degree felony for more than $5,000."
This blog from the first-rate Intermountain Legal law firm also warns:
"These youthful indiscretions are, in fact, very serious criminal (activities)...that need to be promptly addressed by a Utah graffiti and vandalism attorney. Even if the offender is under 18, these charges still can carry major repercussions. At Intermountain Legal, our attorneys have experience in both the criminal justice system and the juvenile court system. Whether you are facing graffiti or vandalism charges personally or your child is facing delinquency proceedings for a similar offense, we can work with state attorneys and the court...."
