Vandalism, basically.
Edit: illegal to use on people's cars/property that is.
People are very possessive about the state of their car's exterior, imagine someone sticking one of these on a high end car.
Also, it sounds to me the area is not actually a "no parking" area - it is at least conceivable the court's interpretation would be different if the claim were true. Residents are painting the curbs themselves.
Which is why a lot of street artists swapped the can for painted paper and water-soluble glue.
Or, related to cars: hard to remove stickers = property damage, some chalk on the tires or shaving foam on the hood = no case, deal with it.
But who will you complain to? Sausalito Police? Marin County Sheriff?
I thought few times about starting something similar in Poland but then I understood StopXam really works only because they're government-backed program, so if someone gets too angry about having half of their windshield covered in a "I don't respect people" stickers, the police will bring him to order quickly.
There are times when these stickers are used for the forces of good, you know.
Edit: I still have about half of that stack of stickers at home. I still only ever use them for the forces of good. :)
I wonder if they were double-blind tests.
This is just plain destructive and counterproductive. Use something that's easily noticed but also easily removed.
