Lawmakers have worked all year on bills to crack down on retail theft while trying to avoid criminalizing poor Californians if they steal necessities.
After coming out as gay at 14 years old, Nicholas Michael Nelson was kicked out of the family home in Oceanside and spent the next twenty years struggling with homelessness and drug addiction. Nelson, who is nonbinary and goes by the name “Poodle,' moved to San Francisco last year and turned to shoplifting to survive in a town that's pricey even for the well-to-do. 'I wasn’t ready to fly a sign,' said Poodle, referencing a term that is slang for panhandling.
A prosecutor-led initiative that could undo parts of Proposition 47 has qualified for the November ballot. Proposition 47 reclassified some felony drug and theft offenses under $950 as misdemeanors. The measure helped reduce jail and prison populations and has saved the state upward of $100 million annually. That money helps fund reentry programs and victim services programs across California.
