If this guy wants his art to be seen in public, he can buy a billboard and put it there. He does not have the right to tag public and private buildings with his art or grafitti... He has been flouting the law for over 10 years.... No one, not even an artist, is above the law....

Getting arrested isn't a bad thing in America anymore, it's probably a great way to get publicity, and a movie/book deal!!
