Part 3/8:
Orange County District Attorney Todd Pritsker emphasized the importance of this new attitude towards crime. As a leader in one of the largest D.A.'s offices in the country, Pritsker highlighted that the previous acceptance of petty theft is no longer tolerable. He noted that this change is fueled by a new collective hardline approach across various counties, with significant transitions in leadership among district attorneys across California. This coordination aims to create a more unified front against criminal activities—including the major concern of "smash and grab" incidents that have plagued businesses.
