The Effects of Changing Felony Theft Thresholds
More evidence that higher values have not led to increased property crime or larceny rates http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/issue-briefs/2017/04/the-effects-of-changing-felony-theft-thresholds
The absurdly low threshold for this felony leads to an over-criminalization of essentially petty thefts. Therefore, not only should it pass, the threshold could be raised even higher due to inflation. MDP
This is an extremely important bill. The threshold hasn't been changed since 1980 and is the lowest in the country.
Shouldn't it be automatically increased to be tied to future inflation?
