DEMOCRAT City's... Portland, Chicago, SF... Due to theft and employee safety concerns .
De-funding the police is working out great. My understanding a person can walk into Wal-Mart's and take up to a 1k dollars worth of items and walk out and not arrested... Wal-Mart has los around 17 million dollars.
Edit : Despite this threshold, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office changed its position on retail theft crimes in 2016, 2020, and beyond. The new threshold is $1,000 to charge someone with a retail theft crime in Cook County. Other state jurisdictions have passed ordinances to reclassify retail theft as civil offenses, instead of misdemeanor or felony crimes. Ultimately, the threshold for felony retail theft charges can fluctuate throughout Illinois.
