In case anyone seriously considers doing something like this, you should know that vandalizing or removing political yardsigns is a misdemeanor in every state and can carry fines of $1000 and up to 90 days in jail per sign.

Sharing the meme is pefectly legal though.

Yeah, so make sure not to get caught

Sign is 4 years old, and MAGAts want to hang Mike Pence because he didn’t go along with the failed coup.

MAGAts want to hang Mike Pence

Is that what we're calling pumping now? Hanging Pence? Whatever floats their boat.

Should be legal to modify any signs on your own property, though.

[-] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yup

It might also be legal to distribute your own parody political signs

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago

Wouldn't it only count to political signs placed by the party in question? I don't think making your own sign would count. That would just be normal vandalism wouldn't it?

[-] Godnroc@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

If it's your sign you may do as you please with the sign. Displaying it in your yard may be less straightforward, as it may no longer count as a political sign and fall under a local sign or art ordinance. Probably.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

I meant altering someone else's home made sign

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 4 points 5 months ago

Making your own sign wouldn't be vandalism at all. That would just be subject to local ordinances about displaying signage.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

I mean altering someone else's homemade sign on Their property.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

What are the chances of finding an intact Trump/Pence sign at this point though?

[-] zbyte64@awful.systems 3 points 5 months ago

I'm guessing it's also illegal to add funny signs?
