I'm surprised this stuff is still legal, especially since even chalking tires was ruled to be trespassing and a illegal search, and looks like this is a public school too so government ran. Some of the law school students should get together and file a section 1983 civil rights lawsuit, use it to pay off some of that student debt!

So now cities have to use licence plate recognition cameras and location GPS data to see if a car moved or not since chalking is illegal, but I'm sure cities are unaware of this and still are illegally chalking cars - until someone sues and get a huge payout. Then some cities will arrest people because their children drew on the sidewalk using chalk, considering it vandalizing even though it washes off in the rain.
- totalZero 7y agoOU is in a shambles right now, from an administrative standpoint, due to a double-transition of its leadership. I'm willing to bet that the parking enforcement people never questioned the legality of the device, asked few questions about its legality, and assume its existence is proof of its legality.
