Are London Police Cracking Down on Graffiti Artists Ahead of Olympics? The British blogs and media are buzzing with reports that UK police are visiting the homes of graffiti writers in what appears to be an attempt to scare artists from leaving their mark during the city’s Olympic spotlight. Four alleged graffiti artists have been arrested and they have been placed on bail conditions that would prohibit them from creating any graffiti (even sanctioned work) affiliated with the Olympics, traveling within a mile of any Olympic venue, associate with any individual also on bail or using any train, subway or other rail service for leisure purposes.
