California's Prop 47 Derided for Emboldening Theft

California businesses are striking back at the "destructive" reality of the state's Proposition 47 that downgraded theft under $950 from felonies to misdemeanors.

The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act has reportedly been anything but, having sought to reduce prison populations but ultimately leaving criminals on the streets in the state.

Businesses, stores, and shops have seen emboldened thieves steal goods under $950 and then sell them on the street to make cash for themselves, the New York Post reported.
