“… Toilet papering, often perceived as a benign prank, can violate trespass and vandalism laws. Trespass laws prohibit entering another person’s property without permission, which includes interfering with the property owner’s use and enjoyment of their land. Toilet papering may breach these laws by stepping onto private property without consent.
Vandalism laws add further legal complications. Vandalism involves the willful destruction or defacement of property, and while toilet papering might not cause permanent harm, it can still be classified as vandalism. Many states define vandalism broadly, including acts that temporarily alter a property’s appearance without the owner’s permission, such as this prank. …”

Been the norm for a very long time.

“… If you toilet paper a house in California, you can be charged with malicious damage to property, destruction of another person's property, or defacing another person's property…”

 In all 50 States a human can be "charged with malicious damage to property, destruction of another person's property, or defacing another person's property"

 What makes Toilet Paper and CA any different than all other States?  I see nothing in CA law that is more punitive than other States.

 A list of States where "If you toilet paper a house you can be charged with malicious damage to property, destruction of another person's property, or defacing another person's property"
