    A police spokesperson told the outlet that an officer printed the decoy at home using a personal 3D printer, so it did not cost the city any money.

    Okay… So what is he being charged with? Destruction of property or destruction of government property? Because those are very different charges.

    counts of criminal mischief causing more than $1,000 in damage, grand theft involving property valued between $750 and $5,000, and damaging or taking a computer, electronic device, or related equipment.

    It’s a 3d printed decoy, meaning it was worth like $10, tops. Good luck having those charges stick, assholes.

    “Vandalizing art” because this bullshit felony charge they’re trying to hit him with is nonsensical so they come up with another nonsensical charge. Dude just removed a piece of 3D printed trash that the city already acknowledged was placed unauthorized. He should send them an invoice for the removal.

    Did the cops have the right permits from the city to install their personally-produced “art” on city property? No? Charge the fuckers!
