Seattle Police (SPD) say they are not able to enforce property damage laws after a ruling from a federal judge regarding the city’s anti-graffiti ban.
U.S. District Court Judge Marcha Pechman ruled Tuesday that the City of Seattle cannot enforce its anti-graffiti ban, as first reported by The Jason Rantz Show on AM 770 KTTH. SPD said that means “until further order of the Court, SPD cannot take action on damage to property under this law. This is not a matter within SPD or City discretion; we are bound by the court order as it is written.”
