The Legal Ramifications of Advertisement Stuck on Windshield in Texas: Vandalism or Misunderstanding?

Lawyer’s reaction so, it’s so freaking hot in Texas that this stupid advertisement thing is now stuck to my windshield. Now, many of you tagged me in this best way advertising video asking what the best way is to stick it to the person that caused this to essentially be glued to their car. And that brings up the legal question of whether or not this is considered vandalism, considering it’s not easily coming off. Vandalism is considered the intentional, willful, or malicious destruction or damaging of private or personal property. Now, essentially, this is a two part test. In order to be found guilty of this crime. Number one, the damage has to be intentional, malicious, or willful. Now, the author of this video said it himself. It’s so hot in Texas that the advertisement ended up gluing onto the windshield, meaning best way did not intend for it to get stuck to the windshield, but the heat is what caused it to happen. So right then and there, the intentional prong is out. Next, you gotta look at damages. When we talk about damages, the damage has to be permanent. Ladies and gentlemen, if you take this into the shade and soak it up with water, it will come out without causing permanent damage to the vehicle. Therefore, there’s no damages. And without damages or willful intent, then this is not considered vandalism. Although some jurisdictions have made advertising on cars illegal.
