a) that wasn't the governor b) California's felony theft threshold of $950 is still the 12th lowest among the states

$950 being a misdemeanor isn't unreasonable on its own. It becomes unreasonable when you combine it with misdemeanors not being prosecuted, so it's not fair to compare the threshold in places that do prosecute them with places that don't.

Sure, but the problem there isn't the law, it's the cops and prosecutors.

[josephcsible]

I'm saying that if you know you have a bad prosecutor, you should hold off on passing that law.
