Isn’t it about time legislators stepped back before knee-jerk voting for things that may look like do-gooder plans?
While California has a long, sad history of poorly thought-out laws often passed for reasons of ideology, there is no way state legislators can pretend after passage that they weren’t warned about the current Senate Bill 553, the brainchild of Silicon Valley state Sen. Dave Cortese, a Democrat.
It aims to prohibit employers from requiring workers, even security personnel, to confront active suspected shoplifters. This, of course, raised the question of why any store would hire security folks if they won’t confront thieves caught in the act. Why also have security cameras making videos in stores? Why not just give everything away?
Cortese says his bill aims to protect retail employees from violence by relieving them of any responsibility to confront thieves, even if that’s the job they were hired for. But retailers say the real life consequence will amount to an open invitation for thieves to take whatever they like, just like the latest large flash mob, which stole more than $100,000 worth of jewelry and designer goods from the Topanga Mall Nordstrom and then fled in a fleet of cars reportedly including multiple luxury BMW and Lexus vehicles.
