Abstract

California Governor Gavin Newsom has signed a series of anti-crime bills into law, focusing on retail theft and car break-ins. The new measures include stricter penalties for smash-and-grab robberies, auto burglaries, and possession of stolen goods. Retailers will now be able to file restraining orders against repeat offenders, and prosecutors can combine the value of stolen items across jurisdictions to meet the threshold for felony grand theft. Newsom's efforts to crack down on property crime mirror his recent actions to address homeless encampments. The legislation also includes a requirement for online marketplaces to obtain more information from sellers to prevent illegal resales. [Extracted from the article]
