Is removing campaign signs from the private property of another against the law?
Law Enforcement & Police Add comments
CuriousGeorge asked:
I have a friend who displays campaign signs in his yard and they have been stolen or removed several times. There are no neighborhood restrictions that would come into play and the signs are placed well out of the public right-of-way that borders the street. He asked a police officer if this was a crime and they told him that it wasn’t. Is this correct?

I would think that the sign is the property of the candidate or the homeowner, and should be protected like any other property.

It could be construed as theft, vandalism, and/or trespassing. The cop either didn’t want to be bothered with it or isn’t well versed in the law.
