  I doubt that the FBI is that stupid. But seriously, it'd be cool if someone could share a photo of one.

    Exactly, they might take them all down, but more likely would ignore them when they are everywhere, since they would then signify nothing, and be costly to have removed.

      Or, they might take down a few of the wrong ones just to troll people.

  That is exactly what I'm suggesting, and don't put it past the FBI to not think things through. If it was too obvious if all the poles got tagged you could do them slowly over time.

    Right, just keep hitting them at random, and see which ones disappear the fastest. But you'd need to crowd-source it, and build an app so people could quickly geo-tag as they apply them. I can't imagine that putting stickers on utility poles is illegal ;)

      It probably actually is illegal under something like "defacing public (maybe private?) property" and just not enforced. But might be for something like this

        Right. I used to put up posters for stuff, and people did say that it was illegal to put them on utility poles. But everyone did.
