    ‘arrested at 1:30am’

    That was his mistake. Do it at 10am on a weekday with cones and a high vis vest and they wouldn’t have noticed for a couple months.

      They didn’t want people noticing that they arrested a guy who was trying to make the city a better place for free.

        You can’t just decide to randomly paint crosswalks and stop signs. Every NIMBY asshole would do this on their street.

        Issue is he was arrested while doing this in the middle of the night, ofc some annoying neighbour reported him.

        If he did it in broad daylight with high vis nobody would have noticed.
