    unless they’re parked right next to your roses, I imagine it would be pretty easy to prove malice

      But could it not be reasonably assumed that you were only attempting to annoy the owner and not cause harm?

      No idea if that even makes a difference, would be funny tho

          Thats were it gets tricky in reality. But not necessarily in an exam that prioritises theoretical criminal knowledge

        Annoying some is thankfully not a criminal action.

      Yes prove intent, but depending on the legal system that might not be enough. Say I believe that spraying someone with sparkling water on the beach would kill you, that does not necessarily mean you attempted to take someones life. Similarly hurting someone in sports does not mean you assaulted them in a criminal sense.
