The Sacramento City Attorney’s Office in California’s capital told a Target retail store location it will be fined under a “public nuisance charge” if employees continue calling police when the store is robbed.
Crime is apparently so out of control in the city that the Land Park Target location was phoning in shoplifting incidents too often for local authorities.
The Sacramento Bee reports Sacramento Target locations called law enforcement 375 times in 2023, 175 in 2022, and 87 in 2021.
These numbers show the first half of 2024 was likely exceeding last year’s insane robbery count for the stores.
The Sacramento city officials reportedly threatened to fine Target with an administrative fine sometime this year.
Other cities in the blue state considering fines against businesses for reporting crimes to the police caused some lawmakers to propose an amendment be added to California’s retail theft bill to outlaw governments from launching such threats.
The strange decision to go after businesses being victimized instead of the actual criminals would also help Democrats hide the true amount of crime taking place in their cities.
If companies and their employees are afraid to be fined if they call the cops, fewer crimes will be reported.
This is a similar scheme to the way Democrat politicians from local governments to the Biden administration itself are skewing federal crime data in order to lie to the American people by saying violent crime has declined under Sleepy Joe’s leadership.
Massive crime-ridden blue cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York City are all withholding their data from the FBI so the overall numbers are artificially lowered.
Democrats are intentionally freeing criminals, jailing law-abiding citizens and flipping the United States justice system on its head as part of the Marxist revolution currently taking place.
