	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-11692166" class="dsq-comment-message">Better to go with what has been proven to work.  Increasing the fine will do little because taggers, being young and stupid, assume they will never get caught.  Anyway, the danger of being caught is part of what makes it attractive.  The most effective way to get rid of tagging is to eliminate the satisfaction that taggers get from seeing their "work."  That is, scrub off, paint over, immediately.  It\'s creeping up from downtown B into the neighborhoods, and too many property owners are too slow to paint over the tags.</div>\

Unfortunately the taggers are predominant because it takes less skill and can be done quickly lowering chance of getting caught. Taggers also often vandalize obvious, noticeable walls and objects and hard to clean surfaces. They are much more destructive than the artists throwing up mural type work because of the disposable nature of their tags.<br><br>I wish that there could be a tagging database started at SPD to document the frequency, locations and damage of tags to use as evidence when a tagger is finally caught red handed. LA has been proactive and caught some of the most active taggers. They also have increased the penalties to the tagger as well as levying large fines against the PARENTS for cleanup at all the documented locations. Seems the parents started to pay more attention when it cost them real cash.<br><br>I am very conflicted but maybe the answer is more security cameras. Businesses can install exterior cameras and cover their property as well as the street or public areas nearby. But I guess if the cops have to actually catch someone redhanded, video proof isn\'t worth anything.</div>\

I sneaked up behind them, grabbed the main culprit by the collar and attempted to pull him into the bar for a 911 call. His accomplice tried to pull him away and succeeded in pulling both of us down the street for a block.  I yelled for help from several passersby who just stood and gawked. Finally, the guy gave up his jacket and shirt and scampered down the street half naked in 40 degree weather, leaving me with his clothes, which happened to have new CD\'s AND his cell phone.<br><br>I worked with the graffiti detective for two weeks helping him photograph dozens of this particular tag in this area. After all was said and done, the young male Roosevelt High School student was given a slap on the wrist and released to his parents. <br><br>The only thing I got out of this was the knowledge that taggers are usually young, male and disaffected with very low self esteem.</div>\

Ballard needs to set an example for the rest of the area/state. anyone caught tagging should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. a zero tolerance policy on tagging is the only way to deal with this. if the tagging is connected in any way to gangs it NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH with extreme measures, or it will only get worse and worse. trust me, i\'ve lived in Southern California long enough to understand the plague that gangs bring on a community. that\'s why Ballard needs to take a stand and not let this get out of hand in ANY WAY. be the example that the rest of the state looks to, Ballard!!!</div>\
