Of note, some candidates have complained that their campaign signs have been taken out of yards. It's not only unethical to do this, but since the signs are on private property (put there by permission of the homeowner or by the homeowners, someone who does this is committing criminal trespass, and can be arrested for that. (Duh!) It would be considered a misdemeanor in Georgia, punishable with up to $1,000 in fines and up to 12 months in jail. Usually, it would mean a 6 month sentence. Consult your legal counselor though!
