ok, what are the laws aboot graffitti?
Can you film someone taging something and not show their face, and then not have legal reprocussions?
Aboot nudity
Say you videotaped someones tits w/ someone else writing your name on their tittays. Would I need like a waiver showing their 18? or could I just put little smiley faces over their nips and not get hit up by the legal system?

It is difficult for a DA to prosecute based soley on video evidence. They need witnesses, victims, dates, times, locations, etc. They could try to prosecute, but considering its a misdeameanor crime...it would be a waste of their time unless they were confident they could win...
As for nudity. Not sure where you live, but in the US...federal laws do not demand record keeping on content that does not contain sexual explicit conduct.
Federal Law defines Sexually Explicit Conduct as:
(b) Penetration of the vagina or rectum by any object;
© Masturbation;
(d) Sadomasochistic abuse for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer;
(e) Exhibition of the genitals or unclothed pubic or rectal areas of any minor, or the unclothed breast of a female minor, for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer;
(f) Defecation or urination for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer; and
(g) Touching of a person's clothed or unclothed genitals, pubic area, buttocks, or breast area for the purpose of sexual stimulation of the viewer.
So to answer your question, I think you would be okay to put titties in your video. Keep in kind they need to be 18 or over.
