San Francisco leaders are working together to craft new legislation aimed at curbing the sale of stolen goods on the streets of the city. Authors of the bill hope that it will allow legal vending to flourish.
Supporters hope that getting rid of the bad actors will allow legitimate vendors to succeed.The streets of San Francisco 's Mission District buzz with activity, including unlicensed street vending on Mission Street, often selling stolen goods. KTVU captured video of vendors who quickly packed up their items when our camera showed up. It's a problem that has persisted for years, and now State Senator Scott Wiener and Mayor Daniel Lurie are proposing a legislative fix.
"The bill would be specific to San Francisco, and would allow San Francisco police to cite people selling stolen goods on the streets. After the first two citations, illegal vendors could be prosecuted for a misdemeanor and face six months in jail. "This bill will give San Francisco the tools we need to crack down on retail theft," said Mayor Lurie.
