Sacramento City Attorney’s Office warned Target it could face fines for retail theft calls
Sacramento Bee ^ | July 9, 2024 | Ishani Desai

The Sacramento City Attorney’s Office warned a chain retail store that it could face a public nuisance charge due to a large number of phone calls placed to police when thieves repeatedly stole from its Land Park location.

A person with knowledge of the warning, but not authorized to speak publicly due to the fear of retaliation, told The Sacramento Bee that city officials threatened the Target at 2505 Riverside Blvd. in the past year with an administrative fine. A Sacramento police spokesman confirmed the location — a site that prompted heavy ire from Land Park residents due to repeated crimes — when asked about the apparent warning.

The alleged warning issued by Sacramento city officials — and similar actions by other cities across the state...

The alleged warnings by city officials statewide may affect what crime data is reported as businesses contend with the potential of facing legal action for reporting retail theft, a topic spurring heavy debate in California. Lawmakers have said the unreliable data has caused some skepticism about what, if any, legislation should be passed.

Ah yes, the liberal tenet of “how dare you complain about being robbed”.
Then when the store closes because it’s not profitable to operate there, the liberals shriek about retail deserts.

It will take a generation of pro-business policies to repair California, assuming that it can be repaired.

Seems astonishingly wrong. I did see an American flag outside and my driver’s license says I’m here.
But I do not recognize this place. Maybe we’re in.....
The Twilight Zone.

“The alleged warnings by city officials statewide may affect what crime data is reported”

Your victimhood contradicts the official narrative.

Here’s your fine.

Look! Crime is going down!

I think Ayn Rand would never have thought to invent this situation for one of her novels because it's simply too over the top crazy to allow for proper suspension of belief.

the politics are bad for life, freedom et al in democrat run states and cities.

Gavin Newscum is the worst. I don’t see how this guy could ever be electable, unless he gets on the ticket like the last minute.

I understand that it’s too late to change the ballot in some states. I sure hope the GOP adheres to that.

The situation this country is in will only be corrected by the methods used on April 19 1775.

Comrade, it has come to our attention you are complaining too much about being robbed. The Party frowns on such negative behavior.

Target deserves what they get. If they had any balls at all they would tell them to shove it up their arse and move the hell out!

Rather than just quietly leaving, maybe Target should fight back in ways the public can see.

Let the public know: If the city wants to fine them, the store will have no choice but to close down.

We can imagine what the folks down at city hall look like, Boo-Boo. Very liberal and DEI.

They may say "Leave our fair city." But the public needs to know that the city is forcing this issue.

Target needs to put the onus back on the city and then advertise the hell out of it.

This is ultimately a war between the forces of DEI and people of common sense. DEI is at a great disadvantage because, by the very nature of DEI, its folks have risen greatly above their level of competence.

I might make one more - slightly-different topic but essentially the same - I couldn’t decide on the bottom text so I’ll throw it out to you guys to tell me which one is better - very little difference of course

” … which one is better?”

How about “the O’BIDEN Zone”?

Not bad - I’ve seen that phrase used

I’m just wondering if everyone will get it (no offense intended)

Seeing as so many things have to be spelled out these days (just musing)

Thank you
