- California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed 10 bills in efforts to combat retail and vehicle thefts.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday signed a bipartisan package of 10 bills that aims to crack down on smash-and-grab robberies and property crimes, making it easier to go after repeat shoplifters and auto thieves and increase penalties for those running professional reselling schemes.
The move comes as Democratic leadership works to prove that they’re tough enough on crime while trying to convince voters reject a ballot measure that would bring even harsher sentences for repeat offenders of shoplifting and drug charges.
While shoplifting has been a growing problem, large-scale, smash-and-grab thefts, in which groups of individuals brazenly rush into stores and take goods in plain sight, have become a crisis in California and elsewhere in recent years. Such crimes, often captured on video and posted on social media, have brought particular attention to the problem of retail theft in the state.
The legislation includes the most significant changes to address retail theft in years, the Democratic governor said. It allows law enforcement to combine the value of goods stolen from different victims to impose harsher penalties and arrest people for shoplifting using video footage or witness statements.

This is solid proof that if you want to come up with a solution, you must first create the problem.
They invented it
Is it not a common fact that the US has the largest prison population in the world? It houses 25% of the world's population of prisoners. We have 158 private prisons in the US, 24 in California that are run for profit. Do you think a prison run for profit sound like a good idea to you? Should we do nothing about this and accept this as the status quo? At the very least California is trying, and yes it failed, but is this not a natural part of learning? Fail fast, learn from it, and move on. The alternative is to live in the country with largest prison population in the world, which is ironically called the land of the free.
@@JerryMau5 you really thought being softer on criminals was going to result in something different?
Right. Ruins California and then gets credit for locking up all the people who whole lives were ruined by this man
@@JerryMau5 The people running the prisons aren't the ones arresting, prosecuting, or sentencing the criminals to prison terms, and it's unlikely they are out there framing innocent people for jailable offenses in order to increase their facilities' inmate populations. When the state has to pay a private entity to house prisoners on a per-inmate basis, they have more of an incentive to implement alternative, less-costly punishments, and also to allow for a competitive bidding process in awarding the contracts.
Too late now DIPSH-T!!!! You already ran all the retailers into the ground.
"into the ground" as they are making record profits?😢
Yes. Elon Musk the richest man in the world is moving Tesla and Space X to Texas because of this dipshit and how bad Cuckvillefornia is. Try again?
@digitalaccessibilityacademy Corporations are making record profits. I'm addressing the initial comment who said retailers were being run into the ground, they aren't.
“That White person that you see calling themselves a ‘Liberal’ is the most Dangerous thing in the Western hemisphere; The most Deceitful!” - Malcom X
So is a black person calling themselves a Muslim black supremacist
I tend to think you were / are right in the context of reality and history, whether it was recognized or ignored before.
@@pyreneesfarm7818 Do you think Malcom X is actually alive and posting on youtube comments?
Conservatives were more hated by Malcolm.
Hey, stop basing your opinions on the SHADE of somebody's skin. That makes you very juvenile sounding.
What a damn joke!!! Blame newsom, bass, and corrupt DA Gascon for NOT enforcing the laws of our state!!!!
Arrest, hold them in jail until the trial or bond out!!! No more releasing with a stupid citation!!! They won't come back and continue to break the law
Imagine trying to "fight crime", while flooding your state with unvetted "newcomers"
This has all been an agenda, let people go crazy, THEN, you can soon put in your own military style police. This will be the model for across the country. This demon is involved deep into it.
I'm old enough to remember when stealing a hundred dollars worth of goods could ruin your life. Too tough people say. But people didn't steal like they do now. They knew they could go to jail and maybe never find another job
It was serious business.
@@555125kevin undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than native born citizens or documented immigrants.
@@Donna-wq1qy I'm old enough to remember when stores were willing to spend money to protect their assets. Why should the state worry about a retailer's losses from theft when the retailer doesn't worry about it. Walmart would have to spend more money to stop theft than it loses from theft.
What a clown. He thinks people are buying this?
Only problem is, liberals are
A bunch are.
A bunch of idiots!
Yeah democrats are buying it with a heavy price !
Buying and swallowing. 😅
It’s a smoke screen. They can start by enforcing current laws and drop the felony back down from $1000
thats wut i was thinking. u should already have this on the books, jus shows u how dum politics r n current day America. that or they repealed all those laws, which then wud make them look even dumer.
The “people” voted for Prop 47 to make thefts under $1,000 a misdemeanor and the politicians figured the crooks couldn’t figure out how to scam the system….
We are paying them to jerk us around
They are good at creating problems then fixing them
Please excuse me I'm a Brit but am I correct in thinking you can steal $1000 of goods and not be arrested and charged ??
dont worry retailers are leaving your state in droves all gone
🙄 My eyes can only roll so much
yep
And their customers left with them!!!
Except they aren't. No need to lie and project what you want.
So, he’s making “stealing” illegal. Very progressive 🤔🙄
hihihihi clown world
😂
How long will we tolerate these a-holes? HOW LONG???
..a weak attempt at staying relevant.
"If Democrats would stop shooting people gun violence would go down by 90%. "
He just has to enforce the LAWS WE HAD FOR THE LAST 100...YEARS WE DON'T NEED MORE LAWS.
You cannot flood the court systems with petty crimes. It takes years for them to go to court.
@@suzanne9150nah. A couple more judges per county could do it
@@suzanne9150Flash mobs in stores and auto theft is petty crime? Who knew?
Newsom need to step down no more Newsom
This man is destroying California.
Newsom and his simpleton minions treating this as a light bulb moment that will solve the crime issue. And his voter/supporters are eating it up like flies on crap.
No, he destroyed California and needs to be gone years ago.
Newsome for prison.
Why waited until the whole state damage and want to change?
Real deal?, haha took em years just to realize that. This guy is a joke.
What a joke this man is.
He has 4 years to show America he is president material 😂😂😂😂, but the collapse of this state will follow him everywhere.
Too little too late. The companies are already leaving.
Why now? He never did anything to help, until he wants to move up the political food chain!
😀
It’s because the Olympics are coming to Los Angeles in four years and it’s gonna take them that long if possible to make the state as safe as it can be for international people to come in the Olympics to be held there and I’ll bet you they’re getting pressure from the Olympic committee as well in the international committee he doesn’t care about the citizens of California….
You lie Newsom
his pants on fire : P
Laughable
If it wasn’t so tragic! YES !
6 minutes of saying a whole lot of nothing. We want to know what is in the bills. You created the problem, at minimum you can talk about the solution. I can't even stand to visit California anymore.
Thanks, now I don’t need to listen. 👍
@@Delta7Smith Be glad you don't live here.
This is like the arsonist trying to put out a fire 🔥 he started.
Great scenario!
Just get him out of here
What’s even worse he held this conference at a home depot 😂
to little to late, recall newsom
*too little *too late
Ah Too Late retailers lost too much money
So you just let the theft keep happening the way it does? Or do something about it to slow it down? you sound like a damn moron 🤦🏻♂️
Nobody's fool by this man this man created the problem now he's trying to solve the problem so you can look like a hero it ain't nothing but a sign of bait and switch
Sounds just like Kommiela Harris is doing with her policy change
Jibberjabber.
*fooled
But yeah, just like Kamala is doing with her campaign.
Gruesome is the reason we're in this mess.
only 2900 arrests? since 2019? Since 2019 we've watched over 100,000 youtube videos videos and news reporting the organized shopliftings. Only 2900 arrests in 4 years? Why so low?
Because the police have been defunded. And when there is an arrest the DAs just let them go. Why bother with the paperwork at this point
Why exaggerate and lie? It doesn't help your credibility. 100,000 youtube videos? Why not say a trillion while you are at it
@@WELVAS. It’s called hyperbole
@@WELVAS. lol
@@clovala Sorry, I wish it was, but unfortunately most conservatives genuinely believe when they hear and state things like that nowadays as fact. The line between hyperbole and fact is an increasingly fine line with the group.
Create the problem then pretend to do something about it before election. 😅😅😅
It sounds like Kamala.
GAVIN NEWSOME: The DEFINITION of trying to do your homework when the TEACHER IS COLLECTING IT.
"What? Its election year already? Lets pretend to be tough on crime for 3 months and then theyll vote for me again like the mindless sheep they are"
-Newsom, probably
Newsom its to late get out of are state
*too late
*Our
*it's
He sure did wait to take any action. Good job. Typical politician.
He’ll act like he did something big then go on vacation lmao little too late
He's not a typical politician, he's a really special kind of evil. Corrupt as hell.
“Solving” problems he personally has created 👌 what a savior
Just like kameltoe is trying to do.
This fool have signed a bill “allowing the thieves to steal any thing under $1000”. And now he and his gang trying to put out the fire that they have created???? What a joke!🤣🤣🤣🤣
*I'm overjoyed and grateful to see God's blessings and abundance manifest in my family's life. We're thriving and happy once again, and I can now provide for my loved ones even in retirement, thanks to a remarkable weekly income of $67,000. It's a game-changer after* *facing many challenges*.
Only God knows how much grateful i am. After so much struggles I now own a new house and my family is happy once again everything is finally falling into place!!
Wow that's huge, how do you make that much monthly?
I'm 35 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Thanks to my co-worker (Scott) who suggested Mrs Maria Angelina🙏.
She's a licensed broker in the states 🇺🇸
Peculiar behavior this close to an election.
All of a sudden. Olympic pressure?
No. Donald Trump said he was going to take Gavin for tanning if he didn’t do something about the theft
more like Trump pressure lol he is coming for the dems.
Probably seeing tax revenue dropping because companies are leaving the state
if Harris drops out
Suddenly he’s so superhero about cleaning up California. Was he on vacation the first term yall hired him? 😂
We did not vote him in. He was installed.
He has to try and get Commifornia under control before 2028.
What a transparent douchè… the Laws are on the books, this is a word salad
What is Commifornia? What country do you line in? Russia?
@@anatolyklypin4815Done with Democrats.
Agree
@@anatolyklypin4815 Right now I'm living in upside down world. Where feelings outweigh common sense.
Think about “WHY” he’s back peddling now??? That’s important.
Same as Harris, it’s to get more votes. Past actions speak the loudest to me.
Yeah he should have enforced current laws. There were already laws saying it's illegal to steal. He just ignored it
in case Harris drops out last minute
right in the end of his term? people aren't that stupid Sir.
Sir? He prefers Sire
The Hegelian Dialectic- Problem, reaction, solution. He caused the problem, got a reaction from the people, and now he wants to act like he's a saviour and make everything all better. When will people wake up?
They wont.
Garvin is evil governor
he worships himself
*Gavin
All politicians are evil but NOTHING compares to Trump 😂
@@Karebear42069avoiding libel 😂
So basically Gayvin is spending more of my tax dollars to fix everything he caused
It's too late...you already have ruined CA Governor
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa
… It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
Did he say taking California crime laws "back to the 80s" like it's somehow bad thing? Because I can tell you L.A. and S.F. in the 1980s was a hell of a lot better than it is now.
Too late, retailers moved out of State already.
Why 3 years late governor?
why does this feel like we should be on our knees praying for America because we see the future right here. the future is very bleak and sad without true people in positions to help mankind.
Remove the Prosecutor's, District Attorney's and Judges who let repeated offenders go while throwing the book at first time offenders.
He is very unpopular now in California. And he will never be president. I am a Californian and I cannot stand him and never voted for him
Does that go for the illegal immigrants to. He may have to ask aunt Nancy.
Yeah! Shut the door and rebuild that wall!!!!
After he created the problem 😂😂😂😂
Happy to hear about these bills signed into law. Go Newsom!
After 3 -1/2 years he wants to do something.
Every time he speaks he has a slight smile and you can see his teeth. It’s creepy AF
He is massively part of the problem. Working retail in the L. A. Area, I’ve never seen anything like it. Coming from the east coast, I now understood why the east coast uses California as an example of what not to do.
I have now seen more theft and crime than I saw in all the 35 years prior to moving to California combined.
My retail location was stolen from on a daily basis. Some days on an hourly basis. We were even robbed, and the police showed up and said there wasn’t much they could do because of laws that were in effect…
I learned one thing, if you want change, you have to vote for change. Keep voting for the way you’ve been voting, and you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting.
I have now lived in California, Texas, Maryland, Arizona, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. I have never lived in a state with so much to offer, but so messed up at the same time. Everybody in the state of California that I have encountered has basically complained and complained and complained, but continues to vote the exact same way…
Laughing so hard I spilled my coffee!
Him and aunt Nancy belong in prison
Start with his.salary....
what a lier
Liar*
Its spelled liar*
Newsome is starting to look like a peacock. It's so bizarre.
That's an insult to peacocks.
@@Karebear42069 🎯🎯🎯
Too late! Businesses are already gone.
What a joke. They even try to steal trumps hand movements and his cadence
After all the businesses left? This is just a show for the election.
National embarrassment
They already have laws. Just enforce them.
Too little, too late.. To merely placate voters. But cant UNDO what he already caused.
I just got out of prison not long ago and all the inmates I know that where getting out said they were going to San Francisco California because they don't lock you up for crime there
Why bother now all the stores are closed ! Should have been signing those laws a long time ago!
Declare your independence from corporate America and the useless government 😤
Unbelievable meaningless wordy bills leading to nowhere again...........Bla Bla Bla
Too late
Homelessness ruling downtown San Francisco, urine smell everywhere, afraid to walk even day time - threatening public safety and endanger public health! Looting everywhere, all shops are closed - Nordstrom, target, …….more
HA! HAHAHA! As an LA resident, this is a complete 180 on his stance, why so conservative suddenly
Right????😂😂
The reason he signed the bill cause too many companies leaving California ! TOO LATE 🤬🤬🤬
CCP will be allowed to open businesses 👈🏼
We are already sick of you. You are fired.
They approved things 10 years ago not knowing. Things change. Those voters would not do the same now and he wants to protect that?
Time for Gavin to leave office.
What a complete and utter fool. The guy who created the problems is trying to solve them now. Cute.
Retail stores should start selling F Gavin Newsom flags!
Now that’s an intriguing idea❤
So don't they already have laws against this. Why is this so special
How many years has he blown the billions of dollars on his B.S. plans?
He and Aunt Nancy are richy rich from it too!!!
Gavin has to really improve California if he wants to play president in 2028.
If he is nothing creating more problems in California, we are lucky!
But he’s allowed children to be taken by their parents if the parents refuse the gender care to change their child’s gender
Grewsome is revolting!
The law is already on the books! Wasting taxpayers money for new dumb bills!
What a joke he move out of the state cause of all the crime created by him and his prop 47 all his fault all this crime , he just signs bills on his own
“Ah so we passed these bills that caused all this. So ah now we are ah passing these bills ah that will kinda undo the previous ah bills we passed.” So stunning and brave.
Too late now ..... I have been seeing you guys' true colors for several decades.
He makes the first laws that lets him go free and now he makes laws against his own laws to make it look like he's doing something instead of just getting rid of them all together and going back to status quo arrest in prison
California is the best state in the Union that’s why people come here to work.
Was.
Could you imagine him trying to give a speech in handcuffs😂
He needs to be deported!!!
IGruesome creating a mess and then acting like he is the one fixing the mess. Typical democrat!
Is it election time N now he takes action while dormant for how many yrs. Wat a joke ???
Mr. Governor! You created the mess and until now you start talk tough on crime… many retailers businesses already bankrupt and moving out California…Let do it and don’t play politics . We will vote all of you out on November!🇺🇸👍
Can you say Olympics? Can you say he is channeling Kacklemala?
Ohhhhh, that's right!!!! He's gotta clean it up for the Olympics!! I forgot all about that one!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I guess Newsom is late to the party.😤😮💨🙄🤦🏻
Terms end 2027, governor tries to clean up CA for his 2028 Presidential campaign run.
Pathetic! Worst politician ever!
Too late Gruesome 😂😂😂
