California's Proposition 47
California recently passed Proposition 47. Proposition 47
made several criminal offenses that were at one time felonies into misdemeanors:
shoplifting, writing bad checks and drug possession (methamphetamine, cocaine,
heroin and hashish). They exclude people who have prior convictions for
crimes against people such as rape and pedophiles as well as amounts greater
than $950.
I am sure the arguments were heated between supporters for
both sides.
