New Laws for 2011 Affecting California Residents
Pursuant to SB 1399 permanently medically incapacitated prisoners will be granted medical parole if they meet certain criteria and the Board of Parole Hearings concludes that they would not reasonably pose a threat to public safety. Prisoners facing sentences of death or life without the possibility of parole would not be eligible for medial parole under SB 1399. SB 1411 makes it a misdemeanor to credibly impersonate someone through or on a website or by certain other electronic means to harm, intimidate, threaten or defraud another person. AB 1479 makes it a misdemeanor to tailgate or drive recklessly to capture a photo or tape recording of someone for commercial purposes. If the targeted subject is a child, the penalty would be a year in the county jail and a $5,000 fine. In addition, the paparazzi would be liable for damages and fines if he or she were to falsely imprison someone to capture a photo or recording.
