Minnesota Law on Theft or Damage to Political Signs
In Minnesota, damaging or destroying a political sign without permission can be charged as criminal damage to property under general property laws, even if the sign is political in nature.

Relevant Statutes
1. General property damage law
Minnesota does not have a statute specifically titled “theft of political signs,” but Minn. Stat. § 609.51 (criminal mischief) makes it a misdemeanor to intentionally damage, deface, or destroy another person’s property, including political signs, without consent.

Penalties: Usually a misdemeanor, punishable by fines, restitution for repair/replacement costs, and in some cases up to 90 days in jail for a first offense; repeat or serious offenses can carry higher penalties.

Key point: Political speech does not give a legal right to alter or destroy someone else’s property.
