So does basically legalizing theft for under $950, choosing not to prosecute "property crimes" and so-called bail reform where most people are just released back into society after arrest. All sound good until put into practice.
- YoyoyoPCP 4y agoCorrect. Absolutely devastating to small business owners. I've heard stories that SF is so inundated with car theft that it has created a portal that automatically approves car break in claims for insurance.

- inferiorhuman 4y agoSo does basically legalizing theft for under $950 Yeah, no. Theft under $950 is still theft and it's still illegal. If you're whining about the felony threshold $950 puts it pretty much middle of the road compared to the other forty-nine states. Hell, the threshold in Texas is over $2,000 and has been that high since before Prop. 47 was passed. Find another boogeyman already.
- diebeforei485 4y agoTexas prosecutes misdemeanors. Californian cities essentially do not.
- yucky 4y agoThose other states still prosecute though. And although a misdemeanor isn't as big of a deal as a felony, having to go to court and deal with probation etc. acts as a huge deterrent that you don't get if something just isn't prosecuted.
- inferiorhuman 4y agoThose other states still prosecute though. Boudin prosecuted most cases that were brought to him. In fact he prosecuted a larger percentage than his successor has so far. Boudin also prosecuted police misconduct which made him a lot of enemies.
- diebeforei485 4y agoThis is nonsense. He filed charges then let them off. That's not prosecuting.
