Paul Mauro on Calif. Theft Crackdown: Cops Will Make Arrests But Will the Judge and Prosecutors Keep Criminals?

EXCERPT:

MAURO: “You now have this law as leverage on the books in all of California. And very clearly, it's the will of the people overturning a wrongheaded proposition from a number of years ago, Proposition 47, which instituted all of these soft on crime policies. A proposition, by the way, that Kamala Harris's office reportedly wrote a language for for inclusion on the ballot. But you're still a dependent, but the cops will make the arrests. They're going to go out there. They're going to do it. The stores want it. But what it comes down to, are the prosecutors going to make the cases and then are they going to be kept in or are the judges just going to let them out?”
