"I'm just cleaning the street a bit, is that forbidden or so?" It's a whole new kind of question, because most forms of poster flying, stenciling, spraying, etc. leave something behind, and here you are basically just...cleaning! The offensive police reaction makes it clear once again that it's more about keeping power and control over public space and the messages that are spread there, than about if you damage something or not, the usual argument against sticking posters or spraying graffiti graffiti. As can be read on Wikipedia, the artist Moose got his first court case: " Paul Curtis, also known as Moose, of the United Kingdom is considered to be a pioneer for reverse graffiti.[3] Curtis was recently charged in the United Kingdom under the Anti-Social Behaviour Act but the sentencing and implications are not known. There have been several instances of authorities attempting to prosecute those performing reverse graffiti. No authority has found legal ground to prosecute those who perform reverse graffiti." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_graffiti Indeed, the juridical question is remarkable. “I’m just cleaning the street a bit, is that forbidden or so?”

You're not applying anything, just removing waste material. Can you get arrested for (very locally) cleaning the pavement? Would it hold in court? And: does anyone know any easy way of doing this, i.e. a way that doesn't require a high-pressure cleaner or something like that?
