Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. The posession of a spray can isn't illegal, but if you spray it on a wall and tag it, it becomes an illegal act.

How about newspapers strewn about all over the place because someone didn't take their paper with them when they were done reading it? I live at the end of the line and there's no "bus cleaners" stationed here to clean up in between runs. That stuff stays in there until it goes back for the night.

that sucks, but your situation is far removed from a kid with a lolli in his mouth who hadn't dropped it on a seat, nor littered. There is so much about this case we could debate because we just don't know the information.

Well this isn't Singapore, it's North America, and we have a lot more basic freedom than they do. I like gum, I choose not to stick it under seats or on the floor. When I'm done with it I swallow it or throw it in the garbage.
Everyone has had an incident where they've had gum stuck on their pants/shirt and it sucks... But just because it's a minor problem doesn't mean we need to make a law controlling it... Let's try to fix our REAL problems first
