Laws don't matter unless you prosecute.
Amen to that!!
Yeah, tell that to Trump and his congressional accomplices.
@@billwhitis9997 Well that's gonna be hard since he hasn't BROKEN any laws.
They dont care about facts. To them trump will always be the russian purchased mastermind criminal overlord evil nazi literally hitler. Theyll ignore all the facts and chose to believe the proven liars. Theyre a CULT. They worship obama and israel and thats all they care about. Everything that hurts america makes them more powerful.
@@vxy357 Ok bubble boy
If you can protect your home from invasion,then Business owners should be able to protect what's theirs.
the owner should set up a cot and hot plat in the back of the store and he could call it his second home now you have a Home invasion and the thieves can get shot. ???
@@marksmith7054 I like that. 😈👿😈👿😈
Many states don't have a functioning Castle Doctrine, and those same states force you to Flee instead of protecting yourself even if your life depends on it unless you want to be in prison for the rest of it if you do protect yourself. (we need Pure Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground Laws, along with AG's who WON'T bow down to Democrats to create charges where none should be)
The only problem with that would be abuse of authority in many situations. I have no criminal record and always paid for the merchandise I received, but for 3 years I was constantly being watched and accused of stealing at this particular gas station no matter how consistent I paid and showed I have money. Then one day I was attacked by the employee and the police was called falsely accusing me of stealing. It's not a good feeling thinking that you had established yourself as a good customer only to be looked at as a criminal because of your skin color. And yes I placed a lawsuit against them.
@@garyprater8139 Gary they didn’t want your business. Take your business elsewhere, where you are appreciated.
What we are seeing is the self evident consequence of giving criminals more rights than their victims.
we are under Anarcho-Tyranny, and everyone needs to learn what that is.
Its not theft, its 0 dollar purchase. And business is thriving in the US, luckily I don’t live there.
If you want smash and grabs to really go away allow shop owners to defend their property by force.
If you want to be able to legally defend your home and business, move to midwest or southern states. Just leave your liberal, woke crap back where you came from.
DOGS😅😅😅😅
There have always been laws on the books, the problem is non-enforcement.
Bingo
I know all those white peoples we see doing this need to be held accountable
@@ericeric463 pop a cap in their ases too
This is blue city stuff. Why do we care? This is their business. They get what they voted for.
You have to catch them.
The only ones being protected are the criminals because the judges here don’t hold them accountable.
Welcome to Trump world.
Welcome to liberal utopia !
@@billwhitis9997 you mean biden
Keep voting democrat.
@@billwhitis9997 - I'm sure they all shouted "This is MAGA country!" during the mostly-peaceful robberies.
Most people who commit crimes know they are committing a crime. It’s not that they are or aren’t afraid of the consequences, it’s that they don’t believe they’ll get caught and have to face those consequences until it’s too late.
As long as they stay under the limit, they're good 👍 This has already failed when applied in some states.
If they stay under the limit, then that means fewer things are stolen. That crime reduction
@@VirtueCry No, it encourages people to commit crime when they otherwise wouldn't because they know they won't face any consequences as long as they stay below a set limit. That's what has been happening all along the West coast.
@@VirtueCry No it isn't, it's incentive to steal more things from more places. If there's no penalty for stealing within a certain dollar limit, then you're free to steal up to that amount from any store you can travel to.
Where I live, there is a Target, Ross, Famous Footwear, Michaels, Ulta Beauty and a Rite Aid all within a half mile radius of each other. A dedicated thief could hit all six of them, steal up to the legal limit for this state (which I believe is $950) and get home within an hour with thousands of dollars worth of "free" stuff they can now sell online, whereas before that legal limit was in place, that same criminal would have been stopped by the police by the third or fourth store and arrested.
@@VirtueCryLol...that isn't what happens. I live in CA...look at what's going on out here.
@@VirtueCry You are clueless of what is happening.
Who would have imagined going easy and just straight up not punishing criminals would have led to this.
@@lanceknightmare we get the point Nicholas. We have the laws for this and birder crossings,. Don't blame the police. Blame the system that says we can't call out the perpetrators if they are other than white
Prison came up with this idea. Take away the law so you can up it for 100 times more jail time. Remember Prisons are private and how much do they make per person? Why you think drugs and gang life is so popular in music. Same poeple own that to. Why not make crime more popular, when they can keep your billion dollar Prison up and going. Government always pays even if they don't got the money
@@lanceknightmare people have been pouring resources into impoverished neighborhoods for decades. A major culture shift from within those communities would have to occur for any outside assistance to matter, which is very unlikely.
Idc if this is big money or prison system gone wrong I'm sick of crime having no punishment and having to endure more crime every year as result if I jump across the border to idaho where they enforce rules all the sudden the crime drops off the face of the map it doesnt have to be politically motivated to follow or not follow rules of law and enforce them
@@lanceknightmare I know those reasons.
Poor upbringing.
Money
Laziness
Money
No motivation
Money
No respect for others or their property
Money
No regard for human life
Money
Being lied to by society
....etc.
Just allow businesses the ability to defend their stores, and lives, with lethal force... this problem will work itself out in short order.
Nah, that would give my ex-wife a reason to ........... when I make deliveries to her job.
Until someone dies trying to defend the store...
Like the 82 year old man that just died after trying to block a thief, got ran over and knocked down by the thief pushing a cart, and died in the hospital
All that needs done is stop treating these criminals like toddlers, and the these kind of crimes will be drastically reduced, but as soon as we start playing caped crusader, more and more high end injuries and or deaths will occur, and sorry, "Merchandise" is not worth that, for the customer nor the thieves...
Free hot lead shower 🤠 oh yes 😉
The Rorschach prison scene comes to mind in The Watchmen. Drop the security gates and level shotguns at them. I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me.
They don't have time for courts and lawyers. They are too busy taking care of their business.
There has to be fear of the consequences or it will only get worse..
Fear of consequences starts with the legal right to defend your home, business, self and family from top to bottom. Having 95% of citizens owning firearms is a good incentive, that and a growing population of alligators in numerous lakes is too. Dont like that, dont come to deep south.
I have a feeling if business owners openly carried this wouldn’t happen
A good assumption, and has been proven as a "theft deturant" for over 1 hundred years now. Again, depends on state law. I'm just a mechanic at a powersports dealership, (motorcycle, jetski, atv) and open carry is not only legal state wide, but company promoted and expected. An l.E. supervised training course for private citizens is cheap enough @ $95.00. Get the training even if you don't open carry, as knowledge still rules the day.
lol, You really think store employees are going to put their life in jeopardy to protect someone elses stuff? For $10 an hour?? get real.
Need new judges to impose the new law
EXACTLY!!
Judges should never create laws, look at qualified and judicial immunity, they are the reason there is so much corruption in our law enforcement and court systems.
This was not voted on or even passed through the legislature, it was created by the supreme court.
And most of all a DA who actually charges the criminals.
judges and d a will give them zero cost bond because they know the tax payers pay the court cost on them so the courts let them run wild to rack up more court cases they can drag out for a years are to criminals are like cash cows for the court system
You don’t need new laws just enforce the one’s already on the books!
It's about time - Other states need to take notice and act!
We need burkele here in the usa👍👍👍
California, NY, and a few other "progressive" bastions won't because they say thieves are the real victims. Which is why they are hemorrhaging business, industry,, and population so fast that they are losing representatives in The US House of Representatives.
@Darkfarfetch this is nothing in comparison to the abused pharmaceuticals that plague cities across the US but they'll throw this in your face all day long so small minds like you will believe it's a right or left problem 😆
The whole United States of America should enforce this law.
Sounds good but I'll believe it when I see it.
Make sure to not allow probation or early releases. People need to start serving full sentances.
When the criminals act together in a group to steal like this, the amount that they steal should not matter. They should be charged with a very high crime no matter how much they steal.
You mean like racketeering?
Organized crime charges.
Obvious a conspiracy.
Isn't that what RICO statutes were created for?
Most don't even know each other. This stuff is organized in flash mobs starting on social media. Also a good place to launch a sting operation for it
You actually need police employed to arrest these criminals!
And judges willing to prosecute and sentence those criminals!
Stop defunding the police, and elect prosecutors who want to enforce the laws.
More police funding
Judges and Da's
We need Judge Dredd.
Our system favors these thieves and criminals too too much. The laws
Are not working if these people think its ok too steal and want too get away with it. They all need too be arrested period no question ask.
What is wrong with this country.
They need to have that same Law up here in Canada!
Waaaay too many thieves just getting a “ slap on the wrist“, (so to speak).. Good for the state of Carolina..
We need a law where the criminals can’t sue if your hurt in the process of committing a crime. Stores have to let them walk out with the goods, and they know it.
Only if you leave them alive!
@@redstoneddad3981 If they are dead the family can ( AND WILL) sue and probably win
@@MB-rr1fb proof is the issue, as they were simply killed in "self defense", as I felt "threatened for my life".
I've been down this route with an officer before and even he stated: "if you kill the perp off premises, drag their body back on and claim self-protection."
Btw don't be an advocate for these criminals as most don't deserve the life they were given and jail has never been a deterrent for these thugs.
If you pull bodies you've dropped then you're gonna be charged with pre-meditated murder if you try that not with all the CCTVs recording everything these days
They let them walk for various reasons. They do it also because they can be sued if they detain someone who didn't commit a crime. And not all stores do. It is entirely dependent on the store and its policies.
First, they have to actually CATCH the robbers. Second, criminals don't care about laws. Third, deadly force in response to these Strong arm robberies (which is what they are) would probably get them stopped in a hurry.
Or, they(the criminal) may up the ante as well, and now we have armed robberies--possible shootouts.
I would not use deadly force to save merchandise for a low paying job. Don't act stupid
@@Jane-Doe.1126 exactly. It's a job. It's not my merchandise.
@@floridaviolets9601 No but it is your job that is on the line. At some point the premiums the owners have to pay for insurance become unsustainable. They either cut employees to cover the costs or they close and move elsewhere. In this way it is your merchandise.
@@Jane-Doe.1126 Y would. Are you some kind of liar who thinks that you are gooder. you are not Jesus wtf
What goes on in the mind of these criminals that they have a right to steel from businesses? Finally someone doing something about this. Its sickening to see this
They know they don't have the "right" that's why they cover their faces. They do have the ability and mental/moral deficiencies to do this however.
Shareholders of retail giants are ambivalent about shoplifting losses especially in California.
What took them so long to realize this was a problem? We've all been watching it!
My guess? Democrats opposed the law because it's RAAAAACIST!

I blame the Dem leaders for the rash of "smash and grabs" in our country.

@@pbracey1 "People who annoy you"
They are parodies of themselves at this point.
veritable scooby doo mystery
When these people work together to steal property, they should be charged under a State RICO (Racketeering Influenced Crime Organization) Law. Then these thieves will begin to roll over on each other to avoid 10-Year Sentences. That's what I would do (as Law Enforcement).
Correct
Your logic is perfect, but we are living in a corrupt society under corrupt judicial system. So even though everything what you said makes perfect sense and actually would be Very effective both in short and long period of time, unfortunately in reality this is not what people upstairs want, because if they did, crime would of been eradicated looooong time ago.
.....you shouldn't ever be getting 10 years or risk 5 years for that matter for stealing something that's junk in 3 years.
I don't even think "roll over" prosecution is fair.. its a gapping problem with Rico. And the legal system in general....if you have actual evidence take it to court.And get the conviction. Not hearsay of what happen at X spot 3 years ago , by another criminal doing the same dirt.
The minimum wage hasn't been raised in over 10 years. That's a $1.3 trillion dollars transfer of wealth from employees to businesses. Crime is a symptom of economic distress. Crime doesn't stop because you lock people up longer, just look at the drug war. Until you address the underlying ecnomonc conditions people will be desperate enough to turn to crime.
There 40 million families collecting EBT, which is the food assistance programs. In the wealthiest country on the world, that's how many people can't afford to feed themselves. And you wonder why people turn to theft? It's corrupt policies and rewards only going towards those at the top, skimming from people at the bottom.
@@thinkhector Great comment 👍
"You loot we shoot" is the only way to end this.
These thugs arnt afraid of judges who let em out with no cash bail
A shoplifting gang tried to loot a retail clothing store in Munich while I was there. The store manager pressed a button and the doors electronically locked and a metal security roller descended, sealing the store's big picture window, then the staff went into a safe room and locked the door (leaving other customers, including me, at the mercy of the robbers). The Germans apparently have had this problem for some time.
"Mercy of the robbers"? If they came to loot only, they would not do anything to other people. They got caught with some stolen stuff, and if they go after the other people - they get much more trouble. So, no reason for them to harm anyone.
Allow the citizens to fight back by ANY means! No mercy for thieves!
An 87-year-old home depot employee lost his life to a "retail thief."
These criminals should be treated as guilty of aggravated assault or worse because the criminals offer no guarantee that they will not unjustly cause people to lose their life..
The bigger crime is being 87 and having to work to survive in this country!

We had a Sheriff that had deputies at random 7/11 type stores with shotguns to help stop convenience store robberies. They were dropped off so no police cars were parked in the area. This was heavily publicized on local TV. Worked like a charm.
No police cars in the parking lot, but heavily publicized anyway. Makes sense.

In the 1970s, the Sheriff of Bibb Co. GA, (Macon) ordered "Shoot to Kill" in cases of armed robbery. Armed robbery rates dropped dead! There were almost none for two years.
Wait, was there not any laws against stealing before this? So brave. 😭😂
Problem: enforcing it! These people have been arrested more than 30 times
Animals don't read the newspapers and could care less about how serious lawmakers are.
Good point.
I agree with you insofar as them not reading the papers BUT the word will get around via their peers aka 'word on the street'. A decade ago hustlers and pimps thought nothing of transporting young girls across state lines until this crime was renamed 'human trafficking' which made for stiffer penalties by lawmakers.
We’re going to have to make a rap song about it.
No, they couldn't care less. If they could that means they do care, at least a little.
@@coop3014 Yea
Will they actually enforce the law? Will judges actually sentence these criminals under the new law?
Exactly!
Prolly no
Not likely.
I believe the Judges will. A lot of the stories we hear about lenient sentencing is not because the Judge wanted to. They were only following the laws that were set. Plenty of Judges probably didn’t want to send people to life in Prison for a 3rd strike but did anyway because it was the law to do so.
NO!
Can we just delete criminals
Sooo... shoplifters who work alone still have the green light. Carry on.
We need to make it illegal to sue anyone who protect s their merchandise from theft. That way stores can protect them selfs from theft.
I agree with this. Too many people being sued by CRIMINALS.
Remember when that lady shot that armed robber at dollar general and the sister said "you didn't have to shoot him"
Only need 1 law. criminals forfeit all their rights when committing crimes!!!
Absolutely.
Do you really think a low paid employee should use deadly force to defend a stores merchandise? Most of those people only make minimum wage. That's ridiculous.
We all know what will happen. The “Lawmakers” make the law, then the DA’s office doesn’t prosecute or gives them community service.
They will only prosecute if they know they can win. Don't ever saw L&O isn't as good as taking a college class in American Law 101.
Or, the law enforcement/police don’t have the capacity or incentive to identify the criminals because they are being de-funded! The “new” law is just for show!
Throw them in jail and take their government assistance away.
Install auto-turrets and eliminate the targets when they exit.
🙋🏾♂️ It doesn't matter if the DA, doesn't prosecute or judges are soft on criminals.
Very true. Got to deal with the DA's first that refuse to prosecute criminals then fix the laws
Instead of using the law words of “you’ll face a felony charge and get 15 years for a maximum penalty” why not say “you will be shot on sight and those shooting will NOT be charged since they defended their business”.
No property is worth someone’s life period, which is why shooting someone over property is still murder in all 50 states as it should be

Stiffer penalties do nothing. Stop denying business owners their American Rights of "life, liberty, and property".
Business owners should be able to use whatever level of force is needed to protect their valuables. If that means putting buckshot in a 14 year old kid's spine while they're fleeing, so be it.
Key words here are "could face up to" and "retail property has a value exceeding $1,500". So, in other words… nothing. Nothing will be done. This law is just smoke blown up law abiding citizens' and retailers' butts to give them a false sense of something actually being done. How about this law: if you’re caught stealing anything between the retail value of 0¢ and $1,000,000,000, be it alone or in a pack, you will be arrested and charged according to new, stricter anti-shop lifting laws.

@7thSlugLord not surprising. They've never contributed anything meaningful to modern society why would they start now
Yeah, criminals. You wouldn't be trying to single out blacks would you? Yet you refuse to see the whites doing the same thing. OTOH, many thefts by whites are of the "white collar" variety - and they steal BILLIONS off the top before it even reaches the store. Also, Karen with the blonde hair is filling up both her purse and her coat while she in a conversation with the store clerks - while the store clerk has her eyes on the nearest black person. Security tags a black man as soon as he comes in the store - but Colleen and Brad over there are rolling out with carts full of the most expensive goods to sell to their meth and heroin dealers. GTFOH....
Anything less than extreme physical punishment is probably taking it too easy on these scumbag thieves,…
Because, their primary crime is one of MENACE, not only the theft.
We should send them to Saudi Arabia where they cut the hands off of thieves.
Remove 1 hand for every theft. 2 will be the limit I believe. 🤔

A dude, or dudette, can still walk in, alone, and walk out with whatever he/she it wants? And if, oh heaven forbid, this person would get caught? Gonna be any jail time or will that still fall under the "Pfft. No big deal. Let 'em go because they are the true victims..."?
Yes. You have that right.
Shaniqua gotta steal a Gucci bag.... she's has that privilege
@@commiehunter733
Yep. Me? I got caught with a comic book stuffed under my shirt and...my parents took me back to the ma-and-pa store where I had stolen it. I had to apologize. And they proceeded to beat my ass in front of God and everybody.
Then again, that was way back in the '50s....
@@commiehunter733 that is some extra racism right there.
8th commandment thou shall no steal . stealing is stealing
You steal you go to jail ...then it will slow way down .
You would have to actually be charged with and convicted of the crimes for the “stiffer” penalties to actually matter 🤣
Excellent!!! California should see this!
How is a strong message when law enforcement do not investigate these rings of criminals?
The shoplifting problem is starting to hurt us all. These jokers act like it’s a victimless crime bc “ insurance companies pay for it” but if they would use more than 2 of their brain cells they would realize that the Buck will be passed back to the consumer (US!) and if we can’t pay, the stores will start to close in high target areas-mainly lower income areas and that will hurt those communities.
Insurance doesn't always pay. Gucci will be fine, small businesses are shutting down over this though.
The deceitful _Left_ claims these people are just "trying to feed families"....noooo, if they were, they'd be stealing _bread_ for them families instead of $$$ outta business owner's and employee's _wallets_ !!!
Small business is the life blood, the original American spirit. To betray and commit violence upon small businesses...the response needs to be a head full of lead. We are headed towards a dystopian hellscape where you are forced to interact with nothing but big corporations.
To be fair, the thieves only have two brain cells total.
@@rekietabeatslc9980 steal enough from any business big or small it won’t survive
Good to hear! 👏👏👏 This law needs to go nation wide!
you are racist
That's not thievery, that's Corporate executives getting a bonus.
In 2018, Amazon paid $0 in taxes on record profit of $11 billion. 2018 was the second year in a row that the e-commerce giant was able to avoid paying taxes.
“Instead of paying $16.4 billion in taxes at the 21 percent statutory corporate tax rate,” ITEP noted, “these companies enjoyed a net corporate tax rebate of $4.3 billion.”

Corporations paid zero taxes
😅
They provide jobs! What do thieves provide! Higher insurance, and higher prices for everyone! You’re a nitwit!Allyou’re doing is focusing on companies that provide jobs for other people! You truly have no idea what running a business is! Much like Joe Biden, and his henchman!
This is call the "Black Snatching Law" 😆 🤣
Why don't they just enforce the laws already on the books? Do we need more laws?
Quick, someone give these lawmakers their participation award. How about passing a law that would jail the judges and prosecutors that do not enforce the laws that already exist.
I wish other states in the country would have the balls to have a law like this.
having balls would be a state saying you can shoot to defend your store when they do this
Dat wud be wascist..yo
Shooting over material things will never be equal. Plus insurance covers it so not like the business loses much in reality.
@@billyrussell8684 that's bs when lots of cities getting robbed multiple times a day.... Also the insurance is going higher and higher many up and coming business owners will have to account for that
@@billyrussell8684 effing ignorant. 1. The CONSUMER pays for all that stolen stuff. Either the business raises prices to maintain profits OR businesses raise prices to offset the rise in their insurance premium. 2. Small businesses are typically screwed when this happens because their profit margins are much smaller than corporations, they are sole proprietors with sole liability and responsibility so their personal assets are in jeopardy, and they must raise prices to recover from theft/damages because they don’t have other means to raise capital (such as selling shares of company). You have no idea how sole proprietorships, limited/unlimited partnerships, or corporations function. I hate when stupid people say that companies don’t lose anything because of insurance.
Set it to $1 - over $1 you get 30 days in jail. That would actually deter people.
This is ridiculous .. get some real security in place and stop this
"omg! Why are people stealing everything? Why is crime going up? We voted to changed the laws to help people, not make it worse! We don't understand why this is happening!!" -people if Charlotte probably
Most democrat states are where the majority of all the thefts are from.
What has locking people up for petty crimes done for this country? The real problem is the wealth equality this country creates. This country and its greed is reaping what it has sown.
@@MissionaryForMexico while most murders and violent crimes are in republican states... what's your point?
@@kwcbomb6969 not in republican states, actually in demonic states, go research the crime rate in Chicago, los Angeles, New York. You will not see any smash and grab in Houston!
@kwcbomb what?
This is why I remember as a high schooler when we went to stores after school like to get food drinks they didn’t let too many of us in one time and book bags were left upfront
😂😂😂😂on me they doing that now
They’re only allowing 3 kids in at a time now. When I was a teen it was 6 kids at a time. In a few more years, children will be banned from stores all together.
@@DaisyAppleJuice they should quit stealing then
Yeah I remember this when I was a kid and going to places like Shoes stores like JimmyJazz and few others.
Now it's two ways . One will argue that it's racial thing . While arguing as a distraction others go for the freebies. The other is I don't give a fu k attitude..no matter how much you say to people they will keep walking past and go about their business while you try and yell ,use scare tactics also safety in numbers. More groups coming in even if one person gets pinched the others get away. Sometimes pawns get sacrificed
Just close these stores.....quick fix
Why does anyone need $16,000 in purses
I’ll believe it when I see it. You can pass all the laws you want ,but if the COURTS don’t actually put them in prison for any length of time. Make it 15years NO early Parole !! 20 years Mandatory for ANY crime using a firearm .
What punishment we giving crooked politicians?
@@terywetherlow7970Obama fixed that ,passed legislation to exempt politicians from prosecution
Give 20 years in prison to a cop who commits a crime with a firearm.
