Redlands police officers know Frankie Alvino Capetillo by sight.
They should: They've cited and released him on the spot almost three dozen times, almost all for alleged drug offenses, since Proposition 47 passed on Nov. 4, 2014.
The law reduced many drug and theft offenses that once could have been charged as felonies -- bringing longer jail or prison sentences -- to misdemeanors that could bring sentences of at most a year in jail but in practice are weeks or days.
