43. Is climbing over a railing onto what appears to be public property really a crime on Georgia?

"They didn't do any damage," she said.

She said authorities took a police report for trespass — as the vandal would've had to climb over a railing.

"It is a trespassing," she said. "It is technically a crime, so we are going to be looking at the [surveillance] cameras and seeing what comes of it."

The railing looks under 3 feet high on Google Street View - you can step over it.

Savannah must be so proud there have been no crimes with any consequences in the city recently, such as an unsolved theft, say, that they can spend police time looking at surveillance cameras for a person who stepped over a railing from public property onto public property.
