>It allows law enforcement to combine the value of goods stolen from different victims to impose harsher penalties and arrest people for shoplifting using video footage or witness statements.

this proposed stupid roundabout way of prosecuting obvious and aggressive criminals is all because the "it's not felony theft if it's under $950" law wasn't passed by the state legislature; it was passed through a california proposition (36), which means that it literally is part of the state constitution now and cannot be removed without a huge supermajority.

california's proposition system and the nigh-impossibility of repealing the ones that pass (literally if it wins a popular vote by 50.0000001% it passes) are the actual reasons that the state is shit. the cancer warnings are due to a proposition. the terrible house availability is due to a proposition that incentivizes you to never sell (tax rate calculated at the time of purchase). uber and lyft have constitutional protections to skirt labor laws thanks to them tricking the population into voting for a proposition that provided them, lmao

that's why the democratic government is freaking out and trying to figure out a way to prosecute thefts. the fact that they supported proposition 36 is a bell they can't unring, and unless it gets found unconstitutional (the only way to repeal these without a supermajority, like prop 8, which illegalized gay marriage - again, in the state constitution!) it will be a problem for the rest of the existence of the state.

A 2018 survey from the Public Policy Institute of California found that 57% of Californians say that Proposition 13 is mostly a good thing, while 23% say it is mostly a bad thing. 65% of likely voters say it has been mostly a good thing, as do: 71% of Republicans, 55% of Democrats, and 61% of independents; 54% of people age 18 to 34, 52% of people age 35 to 54, and 66% of people 55 and older; 65% of homeowners and 50% of renters. The only demographic group for which less than 50% said that Proposition 13 was mostly a good thing was African Americans, at 39%

>The move comes as Democratic leadership works to prove that they are tough enough on crime while trying to convince voters reject a ballot measure that would bring even harsher sentences for repeat offenders of shoplifting and drug charges.

NAH.
