Last time I went to Target in SF (on Geary) I saw a car waiting outside and someone running with their arms full of stuff out the door and hop in the car. Last time I went to a Walgreens I saw people with masks on just taking backpacks full of stuff. It’s starting to feel like anarchy.
No, it didn’t:
(1) It didn’t decriminalize anything[0], and
(2) for the acts it reduced the severity of the available criminal pubishment for to which $950 is a relevant amount: (a) the limit applies per act not per day, a d (b) the scope is much narrower than “property crimes”, generally.
[0] try to satisfy anyone advocating decriminalization of X by reducing some instances of X from a felony to a misdemeanor.
DA Boudin has made it clear that such "minor" crimes won't be prosecuted. Period. That's decriminalization, de facto if not de jure.
To the extent that may be true that’s DA Boudin, not Prop 47.
I'd be surprised if a suitcase-sized quantity of things didn't reach the $950 threshold.
