California sheriff warns voters about ‘immoral’ plot by Gavin Newsom that he says will make crime worse

A California sheriff has rejected Governor Gavin Newsom’s plan to reform a law blamed for the increase in crime.

California’s Proposition 47 reduced the penalties criminals face for various drug and theft crimes some simple drug possession crimes turn into felonies, along with some non-violent property crimes.

It is blamed for California’s rampant theft problems, but a The measure that will be on the ballot in November now seeks to amend Prop 47.

But Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a supporter of Donald Trump, claims Democratic lawmakers are devising a plan to trick voters into rejecting the reforms by proposing alternative crime legislation.

Sheriff Bianco, a noted conservative, has described the plan to derail the reforms as both “ingenious” and “immoral” to “sabotage” them for ideological reasons.

Several law enforcement officials blamed Prop 47 for the increase in thefts and vandalism that have plagued California in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Prop 47 is the leading contributor to many of the public safety problems we have in California, from homelessness to drug addiction and theft, and the vast majority, almost 80 percent of Californians, want Prop 47 repealed or that major reforms are taking place, and everyone is in favor of that. I am aware of that, except for our governor and a handful of politicians in California who support Prop 47,” Bianco told Fox news.

Governor Gavin Newsom, a defender of Prop 47, has said he will negotiate only if the measure is delayed until 2026.

Bianco warns that significant efforts will be needed to combat disinformation and political maneuvers aimed at derailing the reform initiative.

Following the passage of the measure to reform Prop 47, Democrats in the state legislature have now begun discussing new crime legislation, which Bianco says is intended to undermine reform efforts by portraying it as unnecessary.

“The Democratic leaders, especially our governor, had to come up with a plan to sabotage this,” Bianco said.

“It’s going to be important for Californians to know that they’re being fooled again, or at least the government, our California state government, is trying to fool them again in the same way they originally did with Prop 47 by the Safe Schools. and Safe Streets Initiative, where it did the complete opposite.

Bianco, a noted conservative, has blasted proposals to reform Prop 47 as “unethical” and “immoral.”

Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom indicated he opposes changes to Prop 47, which would have reduced narcotics possession and other crimes from felonies to misdemeanors

“They’ve suddenly come up with a plan in an election year to have their own public safety bills that they say are going to solve the problems that we have with theft and with drug use and all those things,” Bianco continued.

Bianco noted that some law enforcement groups support the Democrats’ proposal, but he believes this support is shallow and misleading.

‘I want everyone to be fully aware. It’s completely disingenuous. It’s not true. They are misrepresenting the factual law and trying to fool voters again.”

Prop 47 created several crimes, including shoplifting, grand theft, and receiving stolen property, a misdemeanor instead of a misdemeanor if the value of the property did not exceed $950.

It also reduced the penalty for personal use of most illegal drugs below a certain weight.

Several law enforcement officials blamed the measure for the increase in thefts and robberies that have plagued California in the years following the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was around the same time that California became synonymous with smash-and-grab crimes, as videos of groups of thieves brazenly looting stores became more popular online.

California Democrats do not support reforming Prop 47 and are instead trying to pass public safety bills through the state capitol that would attempt to crack down on organized shoplifting, car burglaries and other crimes.

But Sheriff Bianco has branded the proposals as ‘unethical’ and ‘immoral’.

The November measure, called the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, has bipartisan support, including from San Francisco Mayor London Breed. It is unclear whether Governor Gavin Newsom, a strong supporter of Prop 47, will support the competing legislation.

“What they’re doing is making it a state of emergency so they can get immediate permission to implement these rules, and then they’ll use our fraudulent attorney general to create a story for the voter guide saying if you support . This proposal will be withdrawn on the November ballot,” Sheriff Bianco continued.

“And then they’re going to vote ‘no’ on the Prop 47 fix. It’s unethical. It is immoral, and this is exactly what Californians are sick of,” Bianco continued.

“From our governor, from our attorney general, and from our legislature, we have activists, we have pro-criminal activists running our state government, and they lie to the general public all the time, and we’re all tired of it. We’re tired of it.’

Newsom’s office has said they will not negotiate legislation unless supporters of Prop 47 agree to push it back to 2026, when his term ends.

“I’m the only one who reformed Prop 47,” Newsom said earlier this year. ‘I think it’s important to be on the same page with people. I’m not saying everything about Prop 47 is perfect. We want to correct some ambiguities, but we can do this without reforms or going back to the voters themselves.’
