Statute Text
Unlawfully applying graffiti.
(1) A person commits the offense of unlawfully applying graffiti if the person,
having no right to do so nor reasonable ground to believe that the person has
such right, intentionally damages property of another by applying graffiti to
the property.
(2) Unlawfully
applying graffiti is a Class A violation. Upon a conviction for unlawfully
applying graffiti, a court, in addition to any fine it imposes and pursuant to
ORS 137.128 but notwithstanding ORS 137.129, may order the defendant to perform
up to 100 hours of community service. The community service must include
removing graffiti, either those that the defendant created or those created by
another, or both.
(3) If the court
orders community service, the community service must be completed within six
months after entry of the order unless the person shows good cause why
community service cannot be completed within the six-month time period. [1995
