Prop 47 Roundup: 10 Must Read Articles

Get-Out-of-Jail-Free

“The law no doubt has provided the freedom for allowing repeat offenders to continue to break the law without much consequence. As soon as they receive a citation, they are sent on their merry way to burglarize, steal or retrieve more dope. Some have been arrested and cited out more than once in a day, still out on the streets offending.” Harriet Fox , PoliceOne.com

Realignment and Prop. 47 have created new and lasting impacts on public safety statewide.  The governor and Legislature need to face reality and reform these pro- criminal policies

AMEND PROP 47 – by increasing penalties for repeat misdemeanor convictions.  Stop the revolving door

It is time to implement changes. We need long term solutions that actually keep our community safe. We need them now. It’s Time

    It is important to realize that Prop 47 has removed the incentive for addicts and alcoholics to opt for treatment. Instead they choose getting a ticket.
    This is not good for anyone.
