Question about how things were prior to Prop 47 and all the other bullshit that was passed in CA to decriminalize a lot of acts...
I walked out to my truck this morning to find the contents of the glove box and center console thrown everywhere...and both front doors were ajar. I checked my cameras and have pretty decent footage of the assholes. Now, nothing was stolen because the only thing of value in the truck was pair of $200 sunglasses...which are still there. Local PD came out but couldn't take a report because A, nothing was stolen, B, nothing was damaged and C, since nothing was damaged, obviously the truck was unlocked...therefore, no crime was committed. Without a crime, there can be no charges...with no charges, evidence doesn't matter so they simply gave me an incident report card and left. I completely understand and agreed with them after they explained it to me. The had no interest in even watching the vids.
Before prop 47 and the rest of it, was there a manner in which to charge or at least pursue leads on stuff like this or has it been relatively untouchable for long before that?
