Bieber has been channeling his inner Banksy as he posts pictures of his graffiti on Instagram.
“It’s a crime,” said Chief of Police Antonio Ricardo, “Even celebrities need to know that here in our country, laws are to be obeyed.”

Police chief Antonio Ricardo says that Bieber must be held responsible, regardless of his celebrity status.
When police went to question the 19-year-old “Die in Your Arms” singer, he had departed to continue his world tour.

'This is my escape,' Bieber posts. He says he only paints on buildings with the owner's permission.
“Even if he did this without knowing if it was lawful or not, it doesn’t matter,” said Ricardo, “What is important is that the act is a crime and he will have to be legally responsible for that.”
Illegal graffiti artists in Brazil can spend up to a year in jail and be required to pay a fine.

'Everyone loves penguins,' the 19-year-old singer captions.
Bieber has posted several photos of his handiwork on Instagram in recent days, saying that he got permission to do so in each location.

'Who's gon stop me haaannn,' the pop star writes. The police in Brazil tried to — but he had already moved on to his next tour stop.
“Every place I have tagged has been approved I do not suggest tagging private property. I still suck but i have fun doing it ;)” he said.
