So it hasn't officially qualified yet, but it looks like we'll also have a 3 strikes reform on the November ballot. It's probably got a better chance of passing than the death penalty repeal, although voters did reject a similar Proposition several years ago. The 2010 Republican nominee for Attorney General supports the Proposition.
3 strikes reform would probably save significantly more money than the death penalty repeal. Arnold opposed it. He certainly did quite a lot of fiscally short-sighted things that came around to bite him in the ass.
The law that says if you steal a bike three times you get locked up forever, right? That's such an incredibly stupid law, and I hope it's eliminated.
Nah. You'd have to commit a violent felony & then steal two bikes. The problem is that petty theft with a prior felony is typically treated as a felony.
Still bizarre and evidently unjust.
Not to mention juries' penchant for resentencing former jailbirds on scanty evidence...
