No person shall remove, deface, or knowingly destroy any political advertising which is placed on or affixed to any private property except the owner of the property or a law enforcement officer removing improper advertising; provided, however, that, before a law enforcement officer removes any advertisement, he or she shall notify the candidate that it is improper, and allow the candidate 24 hours to remove the advertisement [himself]. Any person may remove any political advertising placed on or affixed to any public property including highway rights-of-way.
