Report: CA District Attorney Issues Guidance To Police: Consider Needs Of Looters Before Charging Them
Daily Wire ^ | Sep 1, 2020 | Hank Berrien

Posted on 09/02/2020 6:22:40 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

A California district attorney allegedly issued guidance to law enforcement in her county that required them to consider if looters needed their loot before the police charged them with a crime.

Costa County District Attorney Diana Becton’s guidance reportedly also included consideration of whether “the target business open or closed” at the time of the looting and “what was the manner and means” by which the looter gained entry to the target business.

As Jennifer Van Laar of RedState wrote, here are Becton’s charging guidelines for looting:

Theft Offenses Committed During State of Emergency (PC 463)

In order to promote consistent and equitable filing practices the follow[ing] analysis is to be applied when giving consideration to filing of PC 463 (Looting):

Was this theft offense substantially motivated by the state of emergency, or simply a theft offense which occurred contemporaneous to the declared state of emergency?

Factors to consider in making this determination:

Was the target business open or closed to the public during the state of emergency? ii. What was the manner and means by which the suspect gained entry to the business? iii. What was the nature/quantity/value of the goods targeted? iv. Was the theft committed for financial gain or personal need? v. Is there an articulable reason why another statute wouldn’t adequately address the particular incident?

Sounds like a DA making up law. She should be disbarred.

How do you explain this to a public school classroom? “Thou shalt not steal” went out the window with these reprobates.

There’s never ever a “need” to commit any crimes against anyone, and they know it. This kind of malarkey flips thousands of years of law and order upside down, and the precedent it would set would be ridiculous and taken to the extremes in no time.

I know what a looter needs; a small chunk of lead and brass.

“Thou shall not steal.” It’s not a new concept.

Consider their needs? Sure, why not...

...they all have that pale and confused look that suggests a significant deficiency of copper and lead. I’m happy to help them remedy that, as are literally hundreds of people that I’ve spoken with over the past few months.

As a looter I really need an RPG. So drop these charges and send me down to the armory. :)

Agreed. And it opens the door to a DA arguing blacks get to keep loot as reparations, throw the book at a white guy who takes a cheesecake.
