The Act classifies repeated theft as a felony, targeting repeat offenders and organized theft. It emphasizes helping those willing to change while penalizing persistent offenders.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">A California sheriff who is championing an effort to roll back the state\u2019s 2014 proposition that reduced the penalties for certain crimes slammed Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA), saying that voters had been \u201clied to and misled by our state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2014, California passed Proposition 47, which altered some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/baltimore-will-stop-prosecuting-low-level-offenses-such-as-drug-possession-prostitution\/\" title=\"Baltimore Will Stop Prosecuting Low-Level Offenses Such As Drug Possession, Prostitution\">low-level crimes<\/a> from felonies to misdemeanors. \u201cAccording to state data obtained by KQED, about 15% of theft cases resulted in an arrest in 2013, the year before Proposition 47 passed. In 2022, that number had dropped to 6.6%. That means in more than 90% of reported cases of theft, no one is ever arrested,\u201d KQED <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqed.org\/news\/11975692\/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.kqed.org\/news\/11975692\/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712758521114000&#038;usg=AOvVaw3c4G47XUkjQnOL6zVdP0Rb\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco spoke of his efforts to support the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, telling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/ca-sheriff-blasts-newsoms-failed-leadership-on-crime-proposes-solution-fix-disaster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, \u201cCalifornia, we\u2019re in a very trying time right now when it comes to public safety and for the most part, from a law enforcement perspective, we can say that, we can attribute the majority of our issues that we are having, or at least, there\u2019s some type of a correlation to them, to the passage of Prop 47.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cQuite frankly, we were lied to and misled by our state, in that the name and the description on the ballot was not something that we were getting,\u201d Bianco continued. \u201cWe voted for a proposition that was named the Safe Schools and the Safe Streets Initiative and it contained absolutely nothing to do with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-working-class-gop-a-muddled-concept\/\" title=\"The Working-Class GOP: A Muddled Concept\">safe streets<\/a> or safe schools, and it was everything that is bad about public safety right now, directly contributing to the increase in homelessness, mental health and drug addiction. Directly resulted in what we see now in our serial theft cases, in our retail theft cases and issues in crime of residential burglaries and those types of things<em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The\u00a0Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, which is currently gathering signatures in order to be eligible for the November 2024 ballot, <a href=\"https:\/\/casafecommunities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CA-Safe-Communities-Fact-Sheet-March-2024.pdf\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/casafecommunities.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/CA-Safe-Communities-Fact-Sheet-March-2024.pdf&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712758521114000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2rLW0HBXosnWfsCA2PSM4Q\">states<\/a> that it will classify \u201crepeated theft as a felony for individuals who steal less than $950 if they have two or more prior theft-related convictions,\u201d allow \u201cstolen property values from multiple thefts to be combined so repeat offenders can be charged with a felony if the total exceeds $950, countering tactics by career criminals to avoid harsher penalties,\u201d and authorize \u201cjudges to impose an enhanced penalty when an offender steals, damages, or destroys property by participating in organized theft with two or more offenders or by causing losses of $50,000 or more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIf you need help to get fixed, then we should be able to help you. If you just flat out refuse, and you\u2019re going to continue to use drugs and cause us all to be victimized by your drug addiction and your theft and everything else, then you\u2019re going to suffer the consequences of jail time,\u201d Bianco stated. \u201cIt\u2019s just plain and simple. But the reality is, without consequences, there is no reason for anyone to change behavior, and we need to get past this feel good way of what our legislators are doing now in this, this notion that it\u2019s somebody else\u2019s fault and you\u2019re not responsible for your own actions. We need to move past that, and we need to get back to a time of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-finally-discovers-china-uses-u-s-media-to-attack-the-united-states\/\" title=\"CNN Finally Discovers China Uses U.S. Media To Attack The United States\">common sense<\/a> that would tell us if we can put you in rehab and help you, then great. We\u2019ve helped you. We\u2019ve helped society.

It\u2019s been a social experiment that has been led by the governor, from his time as mayor of San Francisco, into lieutenant governor and now governor, which has been made worse by our attorney general, who has absolutely no desire to fix any of these issues with crime and protect Californians.<em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cRight now, they are against it because, in elementary terms, I guess they\u2019re going to have to admit that Prop 47 was a disaster that they have tried to defend for years since its passing and the reality of a leader, a true leader, is someone that can say, \u2018Look, we had good intentions of something, but, we had some unintended consequences that now we have to fix.\u2019 That would have been a leadership way for our government to come out of this ahead. But instead, for the past 10 years, they have completely defended Prop 47.
