Criminalizing hopscotch

NYPD: Keeping citizens safe from those evil hopscotch-playing children:

Since when is a kid’s chalk drawing “graffiti”? Since the City Council passed local law 111 in 2005, which defined “graffiti” as “any letter, word, name, number, symbol, slogan, message, drawing, picture, writing … that is drawn, painted, chiseled, scratched, or etched on a commercial building or residential building.”

And that, apparently, includes drawing in chalk on the sidewalk/pavement.
