A Southern California police department reminded the public that Proposition 36 went into effect last week by releasing a video from earlier this month of two shoplifting suspects talking about the new law while handcuffed in the back of a patrol car.

The campaign includes release of a video in which one arrested shoplifting suspect asks another “It’s a felony?” and another says that under a new law, it is.

"It's a felony?" A recently viral video shows the moments that two shoplifters discuss Proposition 36, one of the new laws in effect in California that now makes stealing a felony, all while sitting handcuffed in the back of a police car.
