In what way ? A man has been arrested for stealing a sign that belongs to the Council/Highways dept. Is there any investigation into the person that caused criminal damage to the sign ? If not, why not. Why is Banksy above the law ?
I obviously meant the other narrative that was introduced, but there is the other one that seems to want Banksy imprisoned.Do you know where this anonymous man lives?
They might have difficulty in securing a conviction against a man who has turned a road sign into a piece of art worth at least several thousand pounds.
As several councils across the country have sought to protect other examples of his street artwork it's hard to see a criminal damage charge as worth pursuing.
It’s doubtful it’s ‘damage’ if it’s substantially increased the value of the sign.Do you know where this anonymous man lives?

Does that mean it’s impossible to cause criminal damage in Dewsbury?It’s doubtful it’s ‘damage’ if it’s substantially increased the value of the sign.
There is case law (R v Whiteley [1991] 93 Crim. App. R. 25.) which held that where the act amounts to an impairment of the value or usefulness of the property to the owner, then the necessary damage is established. Is a such an act an impairment to the usefulness of the sign? It certainly hasn’t impaired the value - quite the opposite.
Arguably an impairment to its usefulness, but what jury is going to convict in those circumstances? Unless it’s in Worcester or Warwick maybe!
Your second line was wholly unnecessary. I got the joke.Does that mean it’s impossible to cause criminal damage in Dewsbury?
It’s such a shit hole that any damage could be perceived as an improvement.
Much obliged.Your second line was wholly unnecessary. I got the joke.
Similar to my post on the Noel Gallagher in Birmingham thread. People are in general miserable jealous cunts.Don’t understand why people get so worked up about this guy.
He adds colour to this country and is exercising his freedom of speech.
Are cunts seriously getting upset about a fucking road sign? With all the problems this country is facing?
We need more civil disobedience, not less ffs. We need more people to challenge the establishment. To try and change the way this country is run. Because it desperately needs changing.
is this you?There is case law (R v Whiteley [1991] 93 Crim. App. R. 25.) which held that where the act amounts to an impairment of the value or usefulness of the property to the owner, then the necessary damage is established.
