Are shoplifters really fined $951? Why if a small boy or girl shoplifts a candy? Will they mark it the same?
The problem they are having is professional shoplifters not kids taking a candy bar. Gangs of shoplifters are going into stores in California and wiping them out because unless they steal 951 or more it’s not a felony so they don’t get charged. So the store owner repriced everything at 951 so if people steal it is a felony.

Gotcha. It's just a warning sign. I don't think they can reprice everything that high legally. Can they?
reply
They can. They likely are prohibited from charging more at the register but since they are charging less than the posted price I don’t think there is anything to prevent them from doing it.

Got it! Unless it's charged more than actual price, it's not a crime.
Shoplifting here isn't very common. I don't listen cases of it. Yes, women shoplifters are very common here. Haha.

The focus should be on shoplifting and smash/grab.
The retailer is not the criminal.
High prices are not illegal regardless of what Kamala says.
