So, would it make sense to print up the actual code and post it next to or
over one of these stickers and see what the response might be? I agree that
a geocache doesn't seem to fall into the 'litter' category. Whoever is
posting those stickers must have done caching because he/she knows where to
find caches which means using the geocaching.com website and a GPSr.

I agree.
Reading what Regan has posted, a geocache does not seem to fall in any
category ... though "litter" would need a definition.

most caches do not fit the "destructive or injurious material" test. IMO.

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.
