Original Note:
Looting in CA has been downgraded to a misdemeanor in all cases where theft is under $950 (formerly $400) requiring no jail time, allows for multiple separate offenses and charges for each claimant to keep the charges at misdemeanor level, and is rarely prosecuted. https://calmatters.org/commentary/2021/12/california-must-change-its-laws-and-prioritize-public-safety/
