■「加州46號法案讓偷竊搶劫$950以內不算有罪」:錯誤。

①與此相關的法案是加州47號提案(不是46號),全名為《Proposition 47: The Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act》。

②47號提案並沒有讓任何行為從有罪變成無罪,而是將$950以下的店內行竊(Shoplifting)、偽造(Forgery)等行為改分類為輕罪。

③至於這個提案的影響,各界普遍認為因此減緩了加州監獄人數過多的問題,但須留亦,亦有多方研究或組織認為此法案造成商店竊盜等犯罪增加。

■「加州民主黨的傑作」:易誤導。

這個提案是在2014年經公投通過,而非政府直接制定。
