Can you be arrested for graffiti you did in the past in New York City?
I'm not completely, 100% sure, but I think that 5 years is the longest statute of limitations for any crime in the United States. Murder is the only crime for which there is no statute of limitations. Even rape and child sexual abuse have a 5-year statute of limitations. And I would imagine that the statute of limitations for petty crimes like graffiti would be much shorter. So, if it's been 5 years or more since you graffitied-up something, then I seriously doubt you need to worry about prosecution.
