So now what? Just sell items priced over $950? Jackasses don’t realize this will be a growing trend?
I’m trying to figure out how an armload of anything from N-M adds up to less than $950.
I've watched videos that tell of shoplifters selling stolen items two blocks away from Walgreens on Market Street in SF, at a 50 percent discount, and nothing is done to arrest them. Also watched videos of shops in London where they actively catch and prosecute shoplifters, active enforcement stops theft. Shoplifters can stuff $5,000 worth of cosmetics into a carry bag, way more than the $950 misdemeanor limit, and they're getting away with it in California - lax enforcement.
I suggested a few days ago that the stores price everything at $951.00, then take the appropriate discount to market value at the register on checkout. But some liberal judge would just say no and let 'em go.
