Law enforcement thinks they’ll be a lot busier now that one of the more controversial measures, Proposition 57, passed yesterday.
“Law enforcement and the citizens are going to have to live with the effects of Proposition 57.”
George Hofstetter with the Association For Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs is afraid that crime will go up… now that many violent felons will be reclassified as non-violent.
“It was given, I believe, a title and summary that didn’t actually, really reflect what the proposition was going to do. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not take the time to actually read their ballot statement.”
He’s hoping that unlike Proposition 47, the next batch of inmates being released early will not re-offend.
