之前看過一個美利堅集美把基督教反墮胎人士示威用的牌子用香煙給燙了，集美剛想當作什麼都沒發生跑路結果立馬就被示威人士旁邊的條子給抓住了，說你committed vandalism，觸犯法律了，我們要拘留你。集美剛開始還說I didn't do nothing!，後來警察態度很堅決你必須和我們去警局，我們看到你做什麼了。然後集美坐在地上說I can't. I didn't know that's a crime. 而vadalism在最進步的加州，就算損害的價值小於400刀不光要罰款也是有可能會坐牢的。


(2)(A) If the amount of defacement, damage, or destruction is less than four hundred dollars ($400), vandalism is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment.
