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.
