Original Note:
Following the passage of Prop 47 in 2014, retail stores in CA reported a sharp uptick in retail theft. Prop 47 reduced theft under $950 to a misdemeanor instead of a felony, still punishable by up to 6 months in jail when prosecuted. - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/prop-47-theft-california/ - https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/23/us/smash-and-grab-thefts-explainer-cec/index.html - https://nypost.com/2022/01/22/why-shoplifting-is-soaring-in-the-us-and-will-get-worse/?utm_campaign=iphone_nyp&utm_source=pasteboard_app
