evidence: Proposition 47 changes certain low-level crimes, such as petty theft under $950, from felonies to misdemeanors. [...] "Wow!! We’re allowed to steal up to $950 at stores in california because of PROP 47," the Facebook post, viewed two million times, purports. The video appears to show multiple instances of individuals allegedly stealing merchandise from stores such as Bloomingdale’s. The claim is false, however. According to "MyProp47," a website dedicated to Proposition 47, the law changes certain low-level crimes, such as petty theft under $950, from felonies to misdemeanors. Other crimes, such as simple drug possession, forgery under $950, shoplifting under $950, and writing a bad check under $950, are also applicable to the law, according to the website.
