CA MAY BE MOVING AGAINST PORCH PIRATES

by Bob Walsh

The formerly great state of California may, if all goes well, pass a new law which makes porch piracy the same thing as burglary.

The trouble with that is that burglary of an uninhabited dwelling is barely even as crime any more in CA, and automobile burglary is a cite and release in most places.

So, kicking it up from an inconsequential misdemeanor to a meaningless misdemeanor may not help a whole lot.

No punishment = No crime

Since California decriminalized crime a couple of years ago, not much will happen. I mean...anyone who would take stuff off another person's porch must be really needy and poor. And it's just not right to prosecute the needy and the poor. That's the new mindset. Enjoy.
