Robbing the free news rack is a no-no / Governor signs bill punishing the theft of no-charge papers: A new state law makes it a punishable offense to take more than 25 copies of a free newspaper for reasons other than reading them.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that would fine offenders up to $250 for the first infraction. On subsequent offenses, the crime could become a misdemeanor punishable by up to 10 days in county jail and a fine of up to $500.
The law seeks to protect free newspapers from being "stolen because of content or viewpoint," said Morgan Crinklaw, spokesman for Assembly Republican leader George Plescia of San Diego.
