Anything under $1,000, you can do whatever you want. … there's no crime if it's less than $1,000. She's the one who started it.
It is still a crime. Under California's Proposition 47 (2014), shoplifting property worth $950 or less is a misdemeanor, and petty theft is a misdemeanor or an infraction.
The Legislative Analyst's Office analysis of Proposition 47 (2014) says that under the measure 'shoplifting property worth $950 or less would always be a misdemeanor and could not be charged as burglary', and that theft of property worth $950 or less is 'often charged as petty theft, which is a misdemeanor or an infraction' (California Legislative Analyst's Office).
