So let’s hypothetically say that the only signs for a candidate are homemade signs for some personality cult reason, definitely not posted by the campaign, and posted on public property. Wouldn’t be illegal to remove those, right?
It's still trespassing, and if needed a judge could put a value on them based on cost of materials + cost of labour.
Some public spaces do offer public posting within guidelines, som I’m guessing trespassing wouldn’t be a primary charge.
I’d wager Vandalism over Trespassing, but you’re spot on with the value added charges.
