Schools have to black out windows so the kids can’t see the mostly naked prostitutes outside. So progressive… California needs a hard reset on crime policies. #California#Crime#ReformFailure https://t.co/ZYEhTKA3tR
CA AG Rob Bonta— who stayed out of the debate at CA capitol over enhancing penalties against fentanyl dealers—was at sentencing for CA’s first murder conviction for fentanyl death.

Interesting finding from the latest @PPICNotes survey: 55% of Californians say the state is going in the wrong direction, up from 44% a year ago. https://t.co/mw2y0TuBoO
@ConnorM993 @jeffreisig Typical claim to sound like 47 isn’t bad. Texas like most states allows theft to be aggregated. Meaning you can add up the theft incidents and make it a felony. Not so in CA. So 5 times of stealing $900 is not a felony. 47 is in fact to blame.
Spot on Jeff Reisig. Gun violence is rampant because of all the illegal guns on the streets, many being carried by felons. And yet we continue to go weak on those who wreak havoc on our communities. And letting them out early is a recipe for disaster.
In all my time as DA, I can’t recall a single case where a CCW holder committed a crime in public with their licensed gun. The real problem in CA is that too many criminals & prohibited persons possess guns and are not going to prison long enough. https://t.co/WzveqCodPV
Excellent article. Reality is that Price has no business being DA. Victims deserve a real DA. Accountability matters. So does meaningful rehabilitation. Without both, the system fails everyone.
@emily_hoeven@GavinNewsom Novel thought-hold them accountable, quit releasing on zero bail and for goodness sakes-stop releasing them early after serving a fraction of their sentence. And get those with addiction mandatory drug treatment.
NEW: @GavinNewsom says CA is poised to make largest-ever single investment to combat organized retail theft: $267M to 55 law enforcement agencies.
"When shameless criminals walk out of stores with stolen goods, they’ll walk straight into jail cells," Newsom says in statement.
It’s time for California to classify domestic violence for what it is: a “violent” crime.
Research shows that more than two-thirds of US mass shootings are committed by someone with a history of domestic violence.

@ZavalaA How about we actually hold people accountable, quit letting them out early after serving a fraction of their sentence and get those addicted to drugs the treatment they desperately need.
#CarmellaG is spot on. Our AG loves to take credit claiming “it won’t be tolerated” yet supports early release of violent criminals and refuses to call HT and DV violent crimes.
@AGRobBonta If you want to grab the headlines for the work of real law enforcement officers, then STOP SUPPORTING EARLY RELEASE OF PRISONERS and support making HT a violent felony!
NY is not an arrestee state for CODIS. You must be convicted first of a felony or certain enumerated misdemeanors. While there were prior efforts to change that to allow arrestee DNA collection/entry into CODIS, those efforts didn’t pass unfortunately. CA is an arrestee state.
@CoffindafferFBI Unfortunately NY CODIS requires a felony conviction rather than a felony arrest like CA allows. As a result, unsolved CODIS cases in NY must wait until a conviction.
Seriously? That’s a farce. This bill is a reasonable effort to protect children who are trafficked. Even if convicted-these pimps often get out after serving less than 50% of their time. Shame on anyone opposed to this bill.
Human trafficking is a serious crime. But SB14 needs to be fixed. It could charge trafficking victims and children with a felony. We are going to improve this bill and provide justice for victims.
Shame on @MiaBonta for failing to protect California children! It’s even more disturbing that she claims to fight for women’s rights but turns a blind eye when innocent girls are being trafficked.
BREAKING: in forced emergency hearing, the Assembly Public Safety Committee passes SB 14 to make child trafficking a serious felony in California. passes 6-0.

My latest column: Democrats' recent votes on high-profile criminal justice and housing bills sent a glaring signal that some members are increasingly willing to sacrifice everyday Californians on the altar of ideology, even when it means denying reality.
