9. Oh, they take pictures

Usually Officer Hyatt, the one delivering the citation, goes out with a camera and takes pictures of the chalkings before calling the Capitol maintenance people out to hose it all down. I think we had him in stitches the first day of our Chalkupation. It was the day after the first arrest for chalking - an arrest Chief Erwin actually made, himself, early in his reign. So, of course, a BUNCH of us showed up, and we had the sidewalk just covered with chalkings. Some of them were pretty clever, if I do say so, myself, and Hyatt was there for over an hour taking photos. No arrests or citations for chalking from that day, or since then, until this latest batch delivered last night.

Hyatt told me later that he was NOT amused by the "trail of doughnuts" leading from the parked police cars to our Chalkupation location.
