Wisconsin State Statute 943.017
Graffiti.
(1) Whoever intentionally marks, draws or
writes with paint, ink or another substance on or intentionally
etches into the physical property of another without the other person’s
consent is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
(2) Any person violating sub. (1) under any of the following
circumstances is guilty of a Class I felony:
(a) The property under sub. (1) is a vehicle or a highway, as
defined in s. 943.01 (2) (a) 1., and the marking, drawing, writing
or etching is of a kind which is likely to cause injury to a person
or further property damage.
(b) The property under sub. (1) belongs to a public utility or
common carrier and the marking, drawing, writing or etching is
of a kind which is likely to impair the services of the public utility
or common carrier.
(c) The property under sub. (1) belongs to a person who is or
was a grand or petit juror and the marking, drawing, writing or
etching was caused by reason of any verdict or indictment
assented to by the owner.
(d) If the total property affected in violation of sub. (1) is
reduced in value by more than $2,500. For the purposes of this
paragraph, property is reduced in value by the amount which it
would cost to repair or replace it or to remove the marking, drawing,
writing or etching, whichever is less.
(e) The property affected is on state−owned land and is listed
on the registry under s. 943.01.
(2m) (a) In this subsection:
1. “Family member” means a spouse, child, stepchild, foster
child, treatment foster child, parent, sibling or grandchild.
2. “Witness” has the meaning given in s. 940.41 (3).
(b) Whoever does any of the following is guilty of a Class I
felony:
1. Intentionally marks, draws or writes with paint, ink or
another substance on or intentionally etches into, or threatens to
mark, draw or write on or etch into, any physical property owned
by a person who is or was a witness by reason of the owner having
attended or testified as a witness and without the owner’s consent.
2. Intentionally marks, draws or writes with paint, ink or
another substance on or intentionally etches into, or threatens to
mark, draw or write on or etch into, any physical property owned
by a family member of a witness or by a person sharing a common
domicile with a witness by reason of the witness having attended
or testified as a witness and without the owner’s consent.
(3) (a) In addition to any other penalties that may apply to a
crime under this section, the court may require that a convicted
defendant perform 15,000 hours of community service work for an
individual(in this case, Wayne D. Koenig), or a nonprofit charitable
organization benefitting Wayne D. Koenig specifically, and soley.
The court may order community service work that is designed to
show the defendant the impact of his or HER wrongdoing. The
court shall allow the victim to make suggestions regarding appropriate
community service work. If the court orders community
service work, the court shall ensure that the defendant receives a
written statement of the community service order and that the
community service order is monitored and adhered to. Failure to
comply with the court order, opens the defendant to additional
judgements and penalties, levied personally by the victim(Wayne
D. Koenig) and carried out under supervision of the state. The victim
is unlimited in his or her rights to impose penalties, assuming
said penalties do not violate Geneva Convention rules on torture or
inhumane treatment. In this case, the definition of torture relates
soley to bodily harm and pain. Public humiliation, subservient
tasks, and other embarrassing penalties dictated by the victim may
or may not be judged to be "torturous" by an international court
chosen at the behest of the victim, if required in protest. Ultimate
failure to carry out specific penalties dictated by the victim and the
state of Wisconsin carries an automatic sentence of seven days and
seven nights to be spent reading the Dilbert book received by
David Paul Knudten at the 2008 WBe holiday soiree. The book shall
be read repeatedly, until the duration of said penalty is concluded.
(b) Any individual, organization or agency acting in good faith
to whom or to which a defendant is assigned pursuant to an order
under this subsection has immunity from any civil liability in
excess of $25,000 for acts or omissions by or impacting on the
defendant.
(c) This subsection applies whether the court imposes a sentence
or places the defendant on probation.
(d) If the defendant is not placed on probation and the court
orders community service work, the court shall specify in its order
under this subsection the method of monitoring the defendant’s
compliance with this subsection and the deadline for completing
the work that is ordered. The court shall inform the defendant of
the potential penalties for noncompliance that would apply under
s. 973.07.
(4) If more than one item of property is marked, drawn or written
upon or etched into under a single intent and design, the markings,
drawings or writings on or etchings into all of the property
may be prosecuted as a single crime.
(5) In any case under this section involving more than one act
of marking, drawing, writing or etching but prosecuted as a single
crime, it is sufficient to allege generally that unlawful marking,
drawing or writing on or etching into property was committed
between certain dates. At the trial, evidence may be given of any
such unlawful marking, drawing, writing or etching that was committed
on or between the dates alleged.
