Original Note:
Shoplifting is still a crime under California State Law. The claim referenced is likely the decision under Prop 47 which raises the felony prosecution threshold from $400 to $950, meaning anything under $950 is a misdemeanor. https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/crime-verify/california-prop-47-shoplifting-950-fact-check/536-4d1de58e-bf47-4ede-8c2f-b4d0c1788b86 https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-160551360299 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=PEN§ionNum=459.5.
