Fuhrmeister, 30, of Stuyvesant Heights, charged with rioting and possession of a graffiti instrument

Amazing how that could be a crime. What other laws like that are on the books?

It probably depends on context to imply intent, like the UK offence of going equipped for theft. While having tools on you isn’t an offence, it will be if you happen to have those tools on you while skulking around cars at 2am.

Go figure, under democracies people pass laws that they want. They don't like living in cities full of ugliness. Someone who's not a painter walking around with spray cans is up to no good.
