People walk past a boarded storefront window of a Salvatore Ferragamo store in 2021 following robberies in San Francisco's Union Square neighborhood. City officials did not post street signs in San Francisco that appeared to warn thieves that"stolen goods must remain under $950," the city’s Board of Supervisors president said. The city has removed the signs.
The Instagram post’s caption said,"In 2014 Voters approved Prop. 47 to downgrade drug possession and thefts worth less than $950 to misdemeanors. Today they’re putting up signs to defend it. California under Newsom. Theft is now fully legalized." "They were real. They appear to have been put up yesterday in three locations and removed yesterday and today," Peskin said July 1., a ballot measure that downgraded some nonviolent crimes to misdemeanors. Those crimes include shoplifting, for which suspects are charged with a misdemeanor and not a felony if the value of the stolen goods doesn’t exceed $950.
