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 vote rs give a big f-u to this one.

    Prop 47 is cried about incessantly by CA cops and their bootlickers.

    Who, unfortunately, basically control the narrative in CA. I expect this will pass by a wide margin.
