Original Note:
The Governor is stating that criminals will be arrested and prosecuted. That is misleading. It's only a misdemeanor for theft under $950. As a result police don't even show up because they can't arrest and the courts will not prosecute. https://www.hoover.org/research/why-shoplifting-now-de-facto-legal-california
