LA Times ^ | 12/1/17 | Maura Dolan

A person convicted of a felony for stealing a car may have that conviction reduced to a misdemeanor if the vehicle was worth no more than $950, the California Supreme Court decided unanimously Thursday.

The decision came in a case interpreting Proposition 47, a 2014 ballot measure that reduced felonies for certain drug and theft crimes to misdemeanors.

California where criminals are loved. The re-distribution of wealth continues unabated.

The left is all giddy these days, their goal of having millions of criminals running wild in our big cities stealing from us and killing us off is coming closer and closer everyday.

Yep. Shopkeepers get robbed all the time now, the perps carry a calculator with them so they only steal less than $950.00.

Is the value determined before or after an owner’s car is beaten with a baseball bat, doused with gasoline, and set on fire?

It’s a misdemeanor offense. You get 180 days in jail, but they have a policy that if you are sentenced to 180 day or less you spend ZERO days in jail.

So steal a car, no consequences. Welcome to LA.

We used to shoot or hang horse thieves.
Car theft is modern day horse theft.

Your honor. I cut it up for parts and sold them in Tijuana. I only got $480 for it. Honest!

I don’t think there are any thieves dumb enough to steal a car worth $950, but they could steal plenty of good electronic items that retail for less than $950 and could be easily sold. Why not? It is only a misdemeanor.

Thanks...I saw that. Horrible what the ruling masters are doing to this country all for lifelong voting base. Willing to kill most of us off for their murdering criminals.

At some point if the get away with taking us out their base will turn on them if they can get into their gated communities.

Who will win first? Invader criminals or sharia?

The left wants the “oppressed” to waltz in and take what is “rightfully” theirs from their “oppressors.”

Ofc this is stupid and outrageous, but I doubt there are many car thefts involving vehicles worth less than $950. What car thief is interested in an old clunker???
