California Mayor Criticizes Prop 47 After 7-Eleven Employees Beat Alleged Thief:
Stockton police are investigating whether 7-Eleven employees should face charges after a video surfaced showing a worker beating an apparent shoplifter with a stick while another clerk held the thief. The shoplifter had allegedly stolen from the store on two occasions before he was beaten.
Proposition 47, a voter-approved measure, downgraded charges pertaining to certain theft and drug possession crimes from a felony to a misdemeanor if the value of the stolen goods is less than $950.
The measure was ushered in by voters in 2014, and has been blamed for the many brazen smash-and-grab thefts and shoplifting incidents plaguing cities up and down California.
"It has essentially legalized theft and open drug use in California, culminating in these unbelievable smash-and-grab robberies," former state Assemblyman elected U.S. Rep. Kevin Kiley, R-Calif., told Fox News Digital last year. "Voters were egregiously misled about what this would do."
