There's also laws stating that if something is worth 1000 dollars or less, and a shoplifter gets out your door, don't bother trying to tackle. You'll go to jail for assault.
Funny, I went to law school in California.
You're just wrong.
Go ahead, show those laws. Double dog dare you.
Shoplifting under $950 is a misdemeanor in California. The argument is that police and prosecutors won't bother with it so it's not worth it to try to stop them and risk being assaulted by the shoplifter.
There's no law allowing a buyer of stolen property to demand recompense from the victim of the theft, that's just stupid. I don't even know what you're misinterpreting here, I suspect you have just made it up.
Stop learning your law from social media.
