California Vandalism Law:

According to the California Vandalism Law, under Penal Code 594, the definition of vandalism is, "Every person who maliciously commits any of the following acts:

  • Defaces with graffiti or other inscribed material
  • Damages or
  • Destroys the real or personal property of another."

Vandalism is recognized as the deliberate damage or destruction of public or private property, without the owner's permission. While subway "graffiti art", keying a parked car, or defacing a street sign may seem inconsequential, these crimes qualify as vandalism by California lawmakers, determined to bring an end to vandalism throughout the state.
