Sacramento Allegedly Threatens Target Over Theft Reports

News summary

The Sacramento City Attorney's Office allegedly threatened a Target store with a public nuisance charge for frequently calling police about thefts, as reported by The Sacramento Bee. This warning led lawmakers to amend a retail theft bill to prevent authorities from retaliating against businesses for reporting crimes. The bill is part of a bipartisan crime package likely to pass the legislature. Both the City Attorney's Office and the Sacramento Police Department claimed they were unaware of any such threats. Critics argue that these actions discourage crime reporting and obscure the true extent of theft. Additionally, California's Proposition 47, which reduced penalties for theft, is under scrutiny for contributing to the state's theft issues.
