The judge said Seattle's property destruction ordinance was vague, targets speech, and “poses a real threat to censorship.”
1. Intentionally damages the property of another; or
2. Writes, paints, or draws any inscription, figure, or mark of any type on any public or private building or other structure or any real or personal property owned by any other person.1. It is an affirmative defense to property destruction under subsection 12A.08.020.A.1 that the actor reasonably believed that he had a lawful right to damage such property.
2. It is an affirmative defense to property destruction under subsection 12A.08.020.A.2 that the actor had obtained express permission of the owner or operator of the building, structure, or property.The Seattle City Attorney’s Office issued a statement Wednesday saying they will not be filing any property destruction charges under this order now.I’m told City Atty Ann Davison is appealing this ruling as fast as legally possible.
The Seattle Police Department also issued a statement Wednesday, saying they will no longer “take action on damage to property” under this new order: We understand and share the concerns that are being relayed to us by our community, businesses and residents alike. We know, as evidenced by the thousands of calls for service we receive each year reporting acts of vandalism and other forms of property damage that property damage is, in fact, a crime that is of significance to community members. SPD is working closely with the Mayor’s Office and City Attorney’s Office to assess next steps with the Court.
