Thanks to Prop. 47's extreme liberal law passed regarding possible thieves' right issue last year November. :-(

People seem to think jails and prisons are full of people who got caught the one time they did a crime. Or Johnny Skateboard who got caught with half a joint. Maybe in Los Altos... but the rest of the state is more realistic and most of the time people caught with drugs are C&R'd. The prisons aren't full of first timers caught with a bag of stems. Even "bigger" crimes get farmed out to diversion programs. Sometimes the only thing that happens is you get lectures by the DA. If you're in a city where drugs are common, police don't even waste their time because they know the DA will just kick it back and say they don't have the resources. It takes a while and a few crimes to end up in jail. Those are the folks who are NOT in jail as often now...
