The misinformation about Prop. 47 is stunning to me. It did not change anything relating to violent crime, nor did it make petty theft legal. Petty theft is still punishable by jail time. Robbery is still a felony.
What it actually did is raise the line between misdemeanor and felony theft from $450 to $950.
