旧金山「零元购」:去超市随便自取,盗窃$950以下警察不管

只要拿走的东西不超过$950,居然不犯法!
此部分为事实错误

加州刑法Penal Code还是把“进入商店盗窃等于或少于$950的物品的行为”定为shoplifting了
The definition of shoplifting under Penal Code section 459.5 is entering a commercial establishment during regular business hours, with intent to commit larceny, where the value does not exceed $950 (or intent to commit larceny does not exceed that amount).
而shoplifting在加州刑法中是misdemeanor,是比普通的felony要低一级的罪行
Shoplifting在加州刑法的刑罚如下:
The severity of the penalties that a court may impose at sentencing depends on several factors, including the facts of your case and your criminal history.
Depending on the circumstances, a conviction under pc 459.5 can carry probation, jail time, and/or fines as listed:
Misdemeanor
Up to 180 days in county jail
Up to 3 years summary (informal) probation
Fines and fees up to $1000, as determined by the court
Additional requirements, as determined by the court
Any combination of the above, as determined by the court
If you are a noncitizen, ineligibility for admission and other immigration consequences, as determined by the immigration court.
而且嫌疑犯是过往严重犯罪记录的话,如强奸犯性侵犯等,不会被控misdemeanor,反而会被控更严重的罪名
You will not be eligible for a misdemeanor “shoplifting” charge under Penal Code § 459.5 If:
You have any serious or violent convictions. For example, rape, murder, possession of weapon of mass destruction4.
You are registered as a sex offender.
如楼上所说,关于shoplifting的定义是在2014年的Proposition 47公投中从felony更改为misdemeanor的
Under Proposition 47 which was passed into law2, with the November 4, 2014 California election, the legislature added a new misdemeanor section to the Penal Code.
It requires that defendants are sentenced to misdemeanors, instead of felonies, for “non-serious, nonviolent crimes,”
所以楼主所说的「不犯法」这部分为事实错误。
就连楼主提供的视频中,旁白也完全没有提到“shoplifting是不违法的”这点。
至于你支不支持这项法律是你的个人意见,本人仅仅是来指出事实错误的部分。

希望各位葱友看帖子记得要会自己事实核查,不要看到一些震惊体的标题就完全相信,要会自己调查对方说的哪些是对的,哪些是错的,免得被带节奏。
