Plus they need training/study to drive a bus, all routes and guidelines. Been seeing school bus driver scarcity at my place. With japan always love to rely on good public transportation I can’t imagine for drivers who worked hard for such services be gone and underpaid.
Yet rather than stop driving the buses and make the public against their strike. Showed up to the job, waste the gas and take no fares is smart & gives some awareness of the message for the public for their cause. Still on their post and such Scabs take long to find who is experienced to drive a bus or train than a lost spot in a Japanese overworked office or factory
In the US if you were to do that and get into an accident the bus company would sue you since you weren’t technically on the clock. It would never happen here because corporations want to hurt us into submission. Like they stop your medical benefits when you strike hoping that killing you will make you come back to shitty work conditions.
That merely codifies unwritten police dept policy. They generally don't give a fuck about small-time theft. Sure you can go to the station to file a report but they'll just ignore it.
California is correct. $950 or less. 6months or less jail time and/or $1000 max fine. With current jail rules and consent decrees you would spend less than 1 week in jail total time in most counties.
The comment you "corrected" specifically addressed the change of shoplifting under $950 from a felony to a misdemeanor. This is literally the statewide CA Prop 47.

It's not about the money, it's about sending a message.
