most caches do not fit the "destructive or injurious material" test. IMO.  but I'm no lawyer.

So, has anyone looked up the A.R.S. code listed on the stickers?  I'd be 
curious to hear what it has to say exactly and how it might be interpretted 
in these two cases.

Looks like the geocaching cop/pirate has hit another cache, this one in 
Mesa.

I do not think its real cops. Anyone with real authority would have gone 
directly to geocaching website and contacted them. This is just someone who 
printed up stickers and is throwing his or her weight around. Anyone have 
legal training or knows a lawyer? Perhaps we can get a legal opinion on 
this.
