“ Thieves are “going into stores with calculators, calculating how much it is, because if it’s less than $950, they can rob it and not get charged,” Trump said. “That was her that did that.”
Does this liberal rag care to clarify what the law states? They say Trump is wrong they don’t give data?
Proposition 47 was enacted to comply with a 2011 California Supreme Court order, which upheld that California’s overcrowded prisons violated incarcerated individuals’ Eighth Amendment rights against cruel and unusual punishment.Such stupid people. The $950 law avoids overcrowding prisons simply by making theft up to $950 a misdemeanor, not a felony, so the criminals don’t go to prison. But hardly anybody gets caught because the cops don’t respond to reports of misdemeanors in progress. It’s a “don’t go to jail free” card.“In 2011, our prisons were bursting at the seams, and California was ranked either first or second behind Texas as having the highest per capita incarceration rate of any state in the country,” Kubrin said. “It was so bad that the Supreme Court stepped in and told us we needed to reduce our prison population by 33,000 individuals.”
“So the goal of Prop 47 was to limit our prison population, to reduce the number of people that we send to state prisons,” said Kubrin. “Prop 47 has achieved that goal while not causing crime rates to go up.”
Perhaps they are saying is that ‘technically’ it was not the camel that initiated those policies. Just her friends and associates.
Oh, and the thieves don’t actually bring calculators. They just rush in, smash and grab.
