Is this illegal?

Melodia

it would make it so much cooler if u got arrested for it...

Medea G

defacement of property so yes. it might be easy to clean, but who is going to clean it.

Jeremy V

They could get you for vandalizing

Morgan F

yes

J Ral

yep vandalism....for my senior prank a bunch of kids in my class spray painted a couple turkeys our school colors and let them loose in the school...they got in HUGE trouble, and they deserved it! but even though silly string seems pretty harmless, your school officials will still file charges because someone has to stay behind after work and clean it all off, and that's a waste of their time

Blah.

Yes, it's vandalism.

Kourt

vandalism, unless you tell someone who is in charge at the school and as permission.

n0sleep

duh ... of course it is ! vandals

miss poopie pants

Felix T. Cat

Technically yes but if you get caught they will probably just make you clean it up.

It can be considered illegal. Its vandelizing and can be littering also. Also will you be there after school hours? If so thats loitering/tresspassing maybe. Have fun though. I wouldnt think its abig deal but ppl these days have very LITTLE sense of humor :)

Serene

Your school probably considers it vandalism and depending on how strict they are might actually have you charged.

Mike

Tresspassing/Vandolism/desicration of public property.

Yes it's illegal.

Jeremy

1)Skipping school
2)Vandalizing
Though I suppose if your teachers agreed to it...

Valerie

um, depends on the school strictness.
you will probably be suspended because you are violating school property.

~~ *lilly* ~~ PRO-JONAS

it is vandilism and yes you could go to jail for it

but only if you get caught!

This is illegal because it is considered vandalism. Also if you are planning on doing this prank as a "senior prank" the school could make it so that you cannot graduate. That is a great prank so, good luck, but be aware that there could be consequences.

ScottO

yes they can nail you with defacing school property, and withhold your diploma, look heres the best senior prank.. wait until you get your diploma.. then go back and do it... they cant punish you unless the cops catch you

Suga

Vandelizing, depending on how strict your school and city.... they may or may not take legal action

bleedinglove_x

vandelizing.

it might be.

considering how over-reactive schools and the police are, you could be charged with vandalism and have to pay for the clean up.

MedSchoolMandy

You could definitely be charged with vandalism if it turns out that the silly string causes damage (even stains!). But even if it's not illegal, it's not worth risking your permanent record and not getting into the college of your choice. I'd try to think of a clever prank... teachers and administrators are generally much less opposed to something clever and funny than anything that causes damage or makes a huge mess. Plus, you want to think of a prank that will be original... no offense, but silly string has been done ;)

parkerclrk

if we find you then YES it is illegal

Jewel J

Completely illegal.

Hope you're done with getting an education for awhile.

emmeylou!

Try it and tell us! LOL. In Florida, if you
re 18 (which as a senior you probably are) it is illegal an considered vandalism.

Bobby

Yeah it's considered vandalism, although it's not permanant damage... imagine it takes 4 custodians 3 hours to clean it, each one making roughly $14 an hour, that's $168 worth of unnecessary work that the school is losing. Trust me it's not worth it, and if thats a senior prank... its really not creative, I'd recommends something more creative like releasing 3 bunnies into school, labeled "1" "2" and "4". Think a little harder, you could end up with upto a $500 fine for vandalism.

It's vandalism.

Silly string is damaging to the environment. It contributes to erosion of the ozone layer. You will be contributing to global warming. It can also damage paint and is highly flammable, hard to remove from concrete and brick, the strands are essentially sticky plastic, so they can clog storm drains and take up space in landfills. It is dangerous to animals who may ingest it.

Today, CFCs and hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are banned for use in non-essential applications. For this reason, Silly String and other aerosol products use other propellants. That doesn't mean all Silly String is safe for the environment, though. In 1989, regulatory agencies discovered banned substances in Silly String sold in Woolworths in the United Kingdom. Authorities also discovered CFC-containing spray string in Canada in 2002.

In September of 2006, the EPA learned that five American companies were selling spray string that contained banned HCFCs. The cans had all been imported from China and Taiwan, and authorities believe that most of their ozone-depleting compounds had already been released into the atmosphere before anyone realized anything was amiss. Once the EPA discovered the banned substances, the agency confiscated the remaining cans and incinerated them using a procedure that destroyed the HCFCs.

Its large proportion of propellant can also give Silly String two seemingly opposite hazards. Some propellants are flammable, and others become so cold when leaving the container that they can freeze a person's skin. Most can labels include warnings about whether the string inside requires specific precautions, and many specify to avoid heat and open flames. But some formulations of the product have been dangerous enough to cause widespread concern. For example, in 1990, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall for a variety of spray string that used a highly flammable propellant.

Some municipal authorities are also worried about Silly String for a very practical reason. Sprayed string can make a mess. Several cities have banned the use of Silly String during celebrations, at parades and on holidays like Halloween.

vandelizm. if someone did that on my property their fingers might never work right again.
