[QUOTE="Decoligny, post: 2917440, member: 41077"] Yes No No No No Yes Yes We had a California version of 780 passed a couple of years ago. It resulted in a mass release of so called "non-violent" offenders. A lot of these were criminals who had pleaded guilty to lesser felony charges than the ones originally charged. These "non-violent" offenders were often times very violent repeat offenders who just happened to be popped for assault with a deadly weapon and possession of drugs, who plea bargained it down to guilty plea for felony possession of drugs if they would drop the ADW. 780 IIRC also reclassifies property crimes by greatly raising the dollar value for theft of property for it to be considered a felony. In CA this resulted in a huge rise in the amount of lower value property crimes being committed due to criminals not being afraid of a simple misdemeanor charge. [/QUOTE]
