The taint of a criminal record can create barriers to housing, jobs & more. This week, we launched a project to expunge non-violent, low-level convictions for 37,000+ eligible SF residents. Thanks to our staff & interns for helping San Franciscans to get back on track.

This sounds good, but how does that impact (for example) the bicycle thief whose been attracting so much publicity. Do you clear his record after he’s been prosecuted? Or don’t prosecute? Serious question. Not trolling.

Record clearing happens after people are held accountable. But if they aren’t caught they can’t be held accountable. And they probably won’t be caught. (I’ve had 5 stolen over the last 15 years)

You’re wrong. I believe the SFDA’s office filed 7000 new cases in the last year. More than Alameda. With few exceptions, if a case is brought and the evidence supports it, there’s accountability. SFPD prioritizes violent crime. Bike thieves don’t get caught.

You might be confused because California voters raised the $$ amount for felonies. This was done in other states as well and was studied. It has no effect on deterrence. Whether someone is caught, rather than the severity of punishment, is the only real deterrent.

The majority of shoplifting/theft incidents are not reported. For those that are, SFPD solves around 2%. They are focused on violent crime, and as I understand it, do better than most other big cities in solving those cases.
