@abcnews: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed a bill increasing penalties for retail theft and porch piracy. Soon, porch pirate theft in Florida for property valued at $40 or more will be considered a felony. "Someone's gonna have hell to pay for stealing," DeSantis said during a press conference this week in Stuart, Florida. The new Florida law goes into effect Oct. 1. #crime #florida #abcnews
There is no deterrent to crime. People desperate enough will do anything regardless of the penalties. The only way you get rid of crime is to eliminate the reasons people commit crimes.

How about we follow Saudi Arabia & chop hands off if someone steals? That’d stop a lot of it! 🤨

I usually don't agree with DeSantis but I agree with this and the bill he put up for squatters. 🥰

stronger laws will do nothing to decrease theft until we as a society address the socioeconomic problem of wealth disparity

A felony for $40 seems excessive. There are measures between prison and no action. You can increase the penalty for crimes without going exctreme. This is just to fill new prisons in FL
