What is the charge? Projecting an image? Projecting a succulent incriminating image?

What even is the crime? Is projecting light onto a surface now considered vandalism?

I'm not sure if it's what was used here. A lot of areas have some kind of generic "nuisance" law, which basically serves as a general purpose "someone is doing something obnoxious that affects us and we want to provide law enforcement with a way to make them stop" tool.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuisance
Under the common law, persons in possession of real property (land owners, lease holders etc.) are entitled to the quiet enjoyment of their lands. However this doesn't include visitors or those who aren't considered to have an interest in the land. If a neighbour interferes with that quiet enjoyment, either by creating smells, sounds, pollution or any other hazard that extends past the boundaries of the property, the affected party may make a claim in nuisance.
Legally, the term nuisance is traditionally used in three ways:
- to describe an activity or condition that is harmful or annoying to others (e.g., indecent conduct, a rubbish heap or a smoking chimney)
- to describe the harm caused by the before-mentioned activity or condition (e.g., loud noises or objectionable odors)
- to describe a legal liability that arises from the combination of the two.[2] However, the "interference" was not the result of a neighbor stealing land or trespassing on the land. Instead, it arose from activities taking place on another person's land that affected the enjoyment of that land.[3]
The law of nuisance was created to stop such bothersome activities or conduct when they unreasonably interfered either with the rights of other private landowners (i.e., private nuisance) or with the rights of the general public (i.e., public nuisance)

Apparently Malicious communications.
So basically the officers knew full well they have 0 chance of a successful trial. As no way any court will consider the intent to cause distress.
But instead are openly acting to silence inconvenient speech.

It’s considered vandalism only when it’s not a projection of Gail Porter’s arse, apparently.

Hurting bourgeois feelings is a crime now I guess
Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 hours ago
How is that even possible? How can you hurt something that doesn’t even exist?

Callousness is a poor facade to thin skin. Personality disordered people have deep, festering wounds that have never been properly addressed. Hurting others is a coping mechanism that releases pressure, momentarily, but doesn't address the cause. That's what cutting attempts, but it's directed at others, rather than self. Psychologically, it's the difference between lancing a cyst and squeezing out the ick without getting the sac that contains it, so it's never really gone - but the ick is now on others.
