Yo so bucket and revok got pinched thanks to youtube, just more proof be smart about you shit online heres some articals... [Broken External Image]:http://deletr753.mypicgallery.com/streetsoul6/revok-15.jpg "Revok" is a prolific graffiti artist who also has a heavy presence on YouTube (see video below). As it turns out, the two might not go so well together. As KNBC reported here, Indio police arrested J********** in Los Angeles last week on vandalism charges after they traced fingerprints from various tags and street art back to the L.A-based Williams. Most of the tagging in question apparently took place during the Coachella music festival. Revok is not a small-timer. He appears in a number of online videos about graffiti, including at least one where he spraypaints a wall himself -- and others where he is interviewed and profiled as a well-known Southland graffiti artist. In this video interview, Revok says, "More than half my life now has been spent doing graffiti. I've gone to jail I don't know how many times, had people trying to kill me. There's really no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for that." The graffiti in many of the YouTube videos is ornate and expertly rendered. Revok is clearly a talented artist. But ... "No matter what you call it," an Indio police spokesman told KNBC, "it's defacing public and private property.'' For repeat offenders, felony vandalism (for damage greater than $400) is punishable by a jail term of up to one year, a fine of up to $5,000, or both. Not what you would call a pot of gold. ============================================== “Buket” is one of Los Angeles’ most prolific taggers - but he doesn’t exactly work in the shadows. The tagger is featured in several heavily viewed YouTube videos defacing signs and buses. His most popular video - with nearly 170,000 page views - shows him scaling an overpass of the Hollywood Freeway near Melrose Avenue and tagging the structure as traffic speeds below. Authorities say Buket’s moniker had adorned hundreds of freeway overpasses, concrete walls and transit buses across the state and southern Nevada. He is believed responsible for upward of $150,000 in property damage along the Los Angeles River and in the areas patrolled by the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. But sheriff’s deputies said today that “Buket,” whose real name is C*********** could be out of commission for quite a while. The 24-year-old man was detained this morning when he showed up to meet his probation officer. He is expected to be booked on multiple charges of felony vandalism, sheriff’s officials said. Law enforcement deals with hundreds of taggers across the city. But it is how and when Yazdani chooses to vandalize property that has earned him special attention from law enforcement, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Sgt. Augie Pando. “It’s blatant disregard for other people’s property,” Pando said. Rather than work clandestinely or under cover of darkness, sheriff’s deputies say Buket prefers an in-your-face approach. Another daylight attack captured on video appears to show “Buket” applying his moniker to an MTA bus as passersby and passengers watch in surprise. The Internet, whether it’s YouTube or social networking sites, is helping fuel a new explosion in graffiti tagging, albeit with editing and soundtracks. But investigators say it also is helping them build better cases against the vandals. Earlier this year, another prolific tagger, Gustavo Romero, was sentenced to a year in jail for etching his “Guser” moniker on dozens of Metro buses. Romero, 23, of South Los Angeles, caused at least $108,000 in damage to property over a two-year period. He pleaded guilty to 49 felony charges. http://www.youtube.com/v/_kd--jxUYAI&hl=en&fs=1
