Trump blames Harris for a California law he says permits up to $950 in shoplifting without consequences.
Former President Donald Trump often blames Vice President Kamala Harris for a California law that he claims permits shoplifting up to $950 in merchandise without consequences, seeking to portray her as a member of the 'radical left' by lambasting her positions and record on criminal justice.
Previously under state law, shoplifting goods worth up to $950 was often charged as a misdemeanor. In some cases, the crimes were also charged as burglaries, which could be a felony. Under Proposition 47, shoplifters with prior serious or violent convictions would face county jail rather than state prison sentences, with the aim of saving taxpayer dollars. People convicted of misdemeanor shoplifting can still face consequences of up to six months in jail and fines up to $1,000.
