GV Wire’s Edward Smith talks with KMPH Fox 26 “Great Day” anchor Karl Cooke about the warning from Fresno County District Attorney Lisa Smittcamp about the enforcement of the new copper wire theft ordinance. 

Smittcamp warns the ordinance’s legality may conflict with state law, and without a clear interpretation from State Attorney General Rob Bonta, cases could be at risk of being overturned or appealed.

Several Fresno city councilmembers, aligning with the county, plan to introduce a similar ordinance.
