    officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint. Officials determined the crosswalk could not be removed, so city workers covered it with black paint.

    Apparently it was very tricky.

      He sent them a fucking email:

      "It’s chalk[,] not paint[.] Please replace it with a real one.”

      Police subsequently called Cox and accused him of committing vandalism. He soon surrendered and was booked with intentional destruction of property, which carries up to a year in jail as well as a maximum fine of $2,500

      What was that pavement made of, to be destroyed by chalk?!

      I suppose they have to arrest all those kids RUINING property with their coloured chalks on their sidewalks.

      Good thing they have those night vision goggles and automatic rifles, you just can’t trust a kid armed with chalk these days.
