In Michigan, the newly passed Organized Retail Crime Act, sponsored by Genesee County State Rep. Joseph Graves, has moved shoplifting from being considered a misdemeanor to being seen as a felony, that would be punishable by up to five years in prison.
In particular, the law targets those who steal goods with the express intent of reselling them.
According to Grandville Police Department Sgt. Detective Renee Veldman, the statute has been a welcome addition to the tools used by law enforcement.
The Michigan Retailers Association spearheaded getting the law passed in 2012 in order to fill a gap that existed between the petty thefts of single items and the more sophisticated criminals who are looking to make a profit, according to William Hallan, vice president for governmental affairs and general counsel.
Hallan, is on the Organized Retail Crime Advisory Board, which has been tasked by Gov. Rick Snyder to monitor the effectiveness of the new law over time. He warned that organized criminals often become more aggressive and would be even more willing to turn to violence.
