it's all as useless if DA's and police won't charge the criminals, or immediately release them with a citation or promise to appear in court agreement. which is exactly what is happening in kalifornia.

Found it interesting that PA allows even more to be stolen.

In Pennsylvania, shoplifting can be a misdemeanor if the value of the goods stolen is under $2,000.

It's why you are seeing coordinated smash and grabs on a massive scale. There is no fear of being held accountable at all

They aren’t that lax. Texas has an even higher limit before shoplifting rises to a felony, theirs is $1250 and ours is $950. The recent thefts are a whole different kind of crime, it isn’t simple shoplifting. It’s organized crime and because it operates like flash mobs and the ringleader is never around, it’s very difficult to stop. All of the stores hit are high end, except for Home Depot where they go to steal the tools to steal from the high end stores. Not one item that gets taken from those high end stores is less than $950.

This isn’t teenagers or poor people taking some little stuff from Walmart or the grocery store. These are organized theft rings that take high end items and then sell them on the internet.

it doesn't matter if the state will not charge the criminals

I believe there’s still a charge, but due to CA jails and prisons being full it’s impossible to ever incarcerate them for a non-violent offense. They had a ruling where due to overcrowding most minor non-violent offense cannot result in jail or prison time

So you just don’t pay whatever the minor fine is and you will never go to jail or prison over it. Which is really the consequence most rational people fear

But I’m not positive on this, just what I’ve heard

They want the chaos

Could very well be true that they aren’t prosecuted, but I’ve definitely heard that even if they were, they won’t go to prison for particular non-violent offenses in CA, no matter how many they rack up

Deferred prosecution or diversionary sentencing I forget the term.

It saves taxpayer dollars! 🤪

I think we need to lean more into social stigma as a deterrent to crime. I think it is true that most criminals don’t think they’ll be caught in the first place

If there was better social stigmatization, like what occurs in Japan, rather than apologists making excuses for them, that might do something to reduce crime on a cultural level

I even saw a (cherry-picked I know) depressing as fuck video where someone is hauling stolen merchandise to their car, the store employees chase them to their car and start to grab them, multiple bystanders yell AT the employees “YOU CANT TOUCH HIM!” and then cheer as the criminal gets away

Sad. That is the opposite of what we need
