California voters may get chance to upgrade charges for some crimes
Proposition 47 reduced penalties for certain non-violent offenses, but public support has waned after retail thefts
The proposal would allow felony charges for people in possession of drugs such as fentanyl as well as for thefts under $950, for people who have two prior drug or theft convictions respectively. Both crimes currently can only be charged as misdemeanors, according to a statement from the California secretary of state’s office.
So cool to see a three strikes law being considered for non-violent offenses. Hoping the 
rs give a big f-u to this one.
You're viewing a single thread.
The local news has been beating the drum about retail thefts for months, there's shit almost everyday to the point my older relatives think there's gangs of thieves hiding around every corner.
My county literally started a retail theft deterrence program in response to those bullshit stories. Old ppl scare too easy. And they like stuff more than ppl.
This is why democracy is bad.
