In the letter written by City Attorney Dennis Herrera it stated that,

"illegally exploits our city’s walkable neighborhoods and robust tourism; intentionally creates visual distractions that pose risks to pedestrians on busy rights of way; and irresponsibly tells our youth that likeminded lawlessness and contempt for public property are condoned and encouraged."

Representatives for Universal records has not responded to the letter or comments.
