That's not battling graffiti, it's providing new, clean surfaces for graffiti "artists".

"The WSDOT maintenance crew in Tacoma is testing drone technology that can remove graffiti from hard-to-reach places. The drones could make quick work of painting over graffiti on tall retaining walls, bridges, and overpasses."
While I see why they don't want their workers to perform the death-defying stunt work the taggers used, those places apparently weren't hard-enough-to-reach places, since there is graffiti there.

So the next logical step is "Drone graffiti artist" ? Just think high rises can now be tagged.
