There's no teeth. Larceny has been a "wobbler" crime that can be charged either as a felony or misdemeanor. What Weiner and Lurie have done is made it by this bill, if passed a misdemeanor. AND, no crime if the fence is only caught 2 times. AND, if DPW worker catches one, has to call in a cop to write the ticket. Extra hassle, and basically, fence gets a bad boy fine even if caught the 3rd time. Max term, IF DA wants to try is 6 months county. This bill essentially decriminalizes fencing. State has already decriminalized street food vending, and taken health inspection on food safety away. Essentially, California Democrats has encouraged lawlessness in the street. This bill extends that policy.

It will be worse when they pass Scott Wiener and Dan Lurie 's Safe Street Act. Fencing will be a misdemeanor only if the fencer is caught 3 times. Max penalty is 6 months in jail or a fine. And, instead of DPW writing these fines when they catch them, a police officer has to be called in to do it. And, this DA never prosecutes misdemeanors, not worth it to her. Essentially, fencing will be legalized under Weiner and Lurie's Safe Street Act. Tighten your seat belt. Lurie is worse than Breed.

Scott Wiener's been writing these loop holes in every single crime bill he authors or co-authors. Each one works out where the offender has leniency of some sort. Every time you read a Scott Wiener piece of legislation: read it. What is further disappointing is this Mayor of 2 months Dan Lurie is sponsoring this piece. Sigh.

And he and Scott Wiener are sponsoring a work around Prop 36. They are making fencing a misdemeanor and only if the fencer is caught at least 3 times. Max penalty would be a fine or 6 months county. Let's see how DA Brooke Jenkins' will prosecute these. And, police will be the ones to issue these citations not the DPW any further. This is outright supporting looting and it's distribution.

Not if Scott Wiener and Dan Lurie have their way: Under Scott Wiener's proposal which was sponsored by Dan Lurie the Safe Street Act, these fencers have to be caught 3 times, and it's no longer a felony - specifically fencing in SF will be a misdemeanor. This is Scott Wiener's way to by pass Prop 36 which makes larceny a felony.

@JohnChr07417950 @henrykleeKTVU @SFPD @TheNapperTandy @SFFDPIO @sfgov @JackieFielder_ @KTVU 2 women were being stopped for robbery in their Audi. They wouldn't and kept going until they crashed into the parklet. We won't get mug shots but...

@SusanDReynolds Don't be mean to Gavin. It takes a lot of energy to do that pompadour he's got going. By the time it's done, he has photo ops. So when does he actually have time to do his taxes?

They did it the Gavin Newsom way with California Prop 1 authorizing a $6.8Bn bond for homeless. Delayed the certification of the vote with co conspirator Secretary of State Shirley Weber. Then "Found" 30,000 unperfected ballots. Found the voters to correct these ballots. And of course these found ballots all voted for Prop 1. It's magic.

Have you looked at the fencing legislation authored by the schmuck Scott Weiner and sponsored by the nebach putz Dan Lurie on fencing? Not a crime unless caught on the 3rd time. And only a misdemeanor no longer a felony. Do NOT say we have all inept judges, as their hands are tied with misdemeanors only lands a 6 months county at a max assuming the schlemiel DA Brooke Jenkins would even prosecute misdemeanors as she hasn't so far (she can't even prosecute murders - ask her about Keonte Gathron, Antoine Watson, Troy McAllister or Thea Hopkins).

We are with you. In California, they talked about a train from San Francisco to LA for over 10 years. We can't get even 1 train from SF down to Palo Alto: it takes 3 transits, 2.5 hrs and it's 1 hr on an accident free day. Daily commute. The freeway 101 South, pot holes galore. Every windshield has a pit mark or 2. Drive into SF (the city has a $15Bn a year budget), road signs graffitied over, road directionals they switched from paint to tape (it's as if some drunk forgot to use a level taped the words) and frayed within days. 11 schools slated to close (educators worried about names of schools and fought against reaching algebra). 30,000 people, entire families, living in single room occupancies (8x10 rooms). Forget public transportation, you will be harassed by a certain demographic teenage gangs, watch a certain demographic masterbate, have sex, vomit or defecate. If you park on the street, your car will be bipped. Pay for parking costs more than the point of the trip. And there is more. SF government employs 34,000 people for a mere 800,000 people. What the heck do these 34,000 people, many paid over $300,000/yr with pensions do? SF pays $60,000,000 ($60M) every year to only 300 Black families and 500 Black youths (what for?) apparently the previous mayor London Breed, and a board of supervisor Shamann Walton together with the chief of police Bill Scott decided to defund the police to start this program with $120,000,000 ($120M) reparations to Blacks. (They needed to hire 28 people to help with this program) each being paid with pension $100,000+ a year. No taxpayers had a chance to vote on this. We are told today by a supervisor Jackie Fielder that a police chase resulting in the perpetrators slamming into a outside dining area seriously injuring 6, is the fault of the police. NOT the perpetrator. The Board of Supervisors also voted (not a single taxpayer had a chance to vote) to close juvenile detention which taxpayers spent $47,000,000 ($47M) to renovate. This current Board decided to make this building a center for education run by the School District not the Sheriff's office. These juvenile perpetrators attending this center, some are murderers, have committed violent crimes, rapists, will be commingled with other middle and high schools students. San Francisco, and California run by the current leadership cares more about criminals, than the taxpayers. Recently, state senator Scott Wiener authors and local mayor Dan Lurie sponsored a bill, that fencing stolen goods should only be a crime after the perpetrator is caught at least 3 times. And the crime should only be a misdemeanor or a fine at the most. [This legislation will only enable stolen goods to have ample distribution versus deterrence] California has already decriminalized street vending food by Senate Bill 946. Forget public healthy and safety of the population. Eat mystery meat quesadilla is OK as it provides revenue for those that want to sell you mystery meat quesadillas. And, it may be a local cuisine from their country. What's going on in these minds? Who is voting these people in? Can we have voter ID? Can we have votes that are counted legitimately? Gavin Newsom "found" 30,000 votes 3 weeks after the election day by asking volunteers to look for "imperfect" ballots, then asking the voter to perfect their ballot to pass Prop 1, the $6.8Bn homeless bill . 50% of Californians rejected this. AND Secretary of the State Shirley Weber was complicit and withheld certification of Prop1 vote until Newsom had his ballots. California state is a mess, the major cities are banks for these politicians. Just disgusting every time we look at our politicians.

@johnnyastroturf @henrykleeKTVU @SFPD @TheNapperTandy @SFFDPIO @sfgov @JackieFielder_ @KTVU Unsure if Fielder is capable of that. Wondering where to pull her battery out and substitute her SLM to a LLM and retrain her models.

@Ravious101 @elonmusk Hmm someone forgot that US Agency for INTERNATIONAL Development was not for domestic use. Or they just skipped 5th grade geography class.

The 1976, later codified in a 1978 Maritime Boundaries Treaty between Mexico and US, defines the shared maritime boundary. In other words, we have as much right to call the body of water Gulf of America. For those wondering if it adds to any other rights or claims. The Law of the Sea convention governs that. BUT, interestingly enough, this convention also allows "exclusive economic zone" that anyone owning land, an island, can claim up to 230 miles or 200 nautical from that island the rights to that body of water. See China building islands in the South China Sea. It's just a name. A rose by any other name is just as sweet;)

Susan has raised a point most of us assume there's both health and safety requirements and some permitting to sell street food. Unlike NY street food vendors they have to pass a food safety inspection inorder to operate. California passed statewide SB972, decriminalizes all street vending, depends on the food being sold that even a permit might be needed. So SB972 decriminalizes all street food vending. So no criminal penalties under California Retail Food Code.
