didn’t they declare that thefts under a certain amount are no longer crimes in California or LA recently?
Later in article: Shoplifting, grand theft, forgery, fraud and some drug possession charges were reclassified as misdemeanors so long as their value did not exceed $950.
Yeah, pretty sure this wouldn’t even rate a citation. You would think sooner or later the profit to loss ratio would push the closing of some places. Butt, cali............
Yeah...they’re just sort of frowned upon these days.
I read that it was anything under $950. Not that long ago in CA, a shoplifter who admitted to the cop that they’d entered the store with the “intent” to steal something could be charged with burglary - a felony far more serious than misdemeanor shoplifting/theft.
Well I think they are crimes...but you have to be caught..and then you get a ticket. LOL!!
