They've been marking tires since 1950. You would get laughed out of court. And you would have to pay court costs.

Yes they are.

Each jurisdiction would have its own law about it.

Here in South Australia, the Road Traffic Act s174AB

"ROAD TRAFFIC ACT 1961 - SECT 174AB

174ABÃ¢Â€Â”Marking of tyres for parking purposes

        (1)         An authorised officer may place an erasable mark on a tyre of a vehicle in the course of enforcing laws relating to the parking of vehicles.

        (2)         A person must not, without proper authority, erase a mark made under subsection (1).

Maximum penalty: $750."

The markers do not cause damage, so it is not illegal.
