After lawyers in Southeastern California urged him this week to impose harsher penalties, Gavin Newsom is urging stealing in fire evacuation areas to be a felony, according to Fox News Digital exclusively.

In California, stealing is now classified as a “wobbler offence”, meaning it can be charged as both a misdemeanor or a criminal. But, courts have the power to reduce the cost to a criminal, yet over prosecutors ‘ objections. Thus far, Los Angeles County’s recently elected tough-on-crime district attorney, Nathan Hochman, has issued numerous fire crimes this week in related cases as firefighters continue to battle the flame across the region.

Hochman and District Attorney Todd Spitzer, both of Orange County, teamed up on Tuesday to question the government to produce looting a crime. Just, Newsom has received criticism for handling the issue from politicians and celebrities alike. In accordance with Hochman and Spitzer’s plan, looting should be classified as a flat felony that would entail a state prison term rather than a county prison term, as is currently the case. Additionally, Newsom is requesting that the legislature declare it a flat criminal. Spitzer told Fox News Digital on Thursday that” we applaud Governor Newsom for standing with lawyers in demanding the punishment fit the crime” in a statement. Nothing is more sacred than your own home, and whether a person enters your house or digs through the remains of what was once your house with the intention of stealing your most prized possessions is the same. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Hochman said:” It will not be tolerated, and we look forward to working with the Governor and the state legislature to restore transparency and defend the hundreds of people who were forced to flee their homes from blatantly victimized by bandits.” This strategy sends a clear message that no amount of plundering will be tolerated. In light of the tragedies like the LA County wildfires, we are committed to protecting our communities from crooks who target defenseless victims. This legislation makes sure that those who treasure in times of crisis may face serious consequences. Fox News Digital’s Michael Ruiz contributed to this statement.
