Bill to Stop Employees Confronting Shoplifters Passed by California Senate

Lawmakers in California are hoping to push through controversial legislation that would ban retail staff from stopping thieves stealing from their stores.

Senate Bill 553, which was submitted by Senator Dave Cortese, has been passed by the State Senate and will now progress to policy committees in the State Assembly. Cortese hopes the proposed law will prevent workplace violence and protect staff from being forced by their employers to step-in during robberies. But some store bosses are furious about the plans, with the California Retailers Association mocking the move as an open invitation for thieves "to come in and steal."
 
Had you read the bill you would see that the bill seeks to stop a business from using non-security employees to stop shop lifters, the bill doesn't say that it should not be stopped but only with security personnel.
Hired security means extra cost that will be added on to the goods and services. Sounds like a
win-win for the consumer.

Like they NEED an invitation?
They have organized gangs that shoplift from coast to coast.
Same with cars, heavy equipment, boats, you name the product.

Your employer cannot "force" you to intervene and try to stop a crime in progress. That the California legislation isn't aware of this particular fact says a lot.

I'm sure that they are aware.
In fact, most retailers will fire an employee for intervening.
Guess the lawmaker wanted to make it crystal clear.

I don't get it, it's redundant.

/----/ Next, they will pass a law preventing homeowners from stopping burglars, and car thieves.

/----/ What's stopping the employer from appointing everyone to the security detail?

Call the police after you’ve been robbed is not intervening. It’s common sense and normal.
 
The "Lawmakers" quoted in the article are Democrats and Democrats just gave the scumbags (mostly Negros and Hispanics) the permission to loot anything they want.

"Come on in, take anything you want, nobody is going to stop you".

Businesses cannot operate without the government protecting their stock. The Democrat controlled government just told the first line of defense that they cannot protect the merchandise. God knows the police aren't going to do it, especially with the other law passed by the Democrats that don't even consider shiplifting a crime.

No wonder so many businesses are closing and so many people are leaving that Democrat controlled hell hole every day.

ChemEngineer is right. Democrats screw up everything they touch.
