Sacramento–California Gov. Jerry Brown today signed a bill to reform California’s sex offender registry, creating a tiered system that will make the registry a more effective tool for law enforcement and bring California’s system in line with the rest of the United States. SB 384 was authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) and co-authored by Senators Joel Anderson (R- Alpine), Holly Mitchell (D-Los Angeles), and Nancy Skinner (D-Berkeley). The bill was sponsored by Equality California, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey, the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault, and the California Sex Offender Management Board and was endorsed by the California Police Chiefs Association and various county sheriffs.
“California’s sex offender registry is broken, which undermines public safety,” said Sen. Wiener. “SB 384 refocuses the sex offender registry on high-risk offenders and treats low-level offenders more fairly. I’m grateful for Governor Brown’s support. I want to thank the broad coalition behind this bill, including law enforcement, rape crisis centers, and social justice advocates. With this reform, our law enforcement agencies will be able to better protect people from violent sex offenders rather than wasting resources tracking low-level offenders who pose little or no risk of repeat offense. Our sex offender registry is a tool used to prevent and investigate crimes, and these changes will make it a better and more effective tool for keeping our communities safe.”
288(c) is Tier 3. Did I read this right?
For a reduction should I go to my old county or where I am living at now? Counties are close
….
Is felony possesion/distrib. of child porn tier 3 or tier 1? Or both?
It’s directly stated in tier 3’s description that felony 311.11 (possession/distribution) would be tier 3. However, it is implied less directly under tier 1’s description that felony 311.11 qualifies for tier 1, unless I misunderstood something.
I will say: I’m not the most experienced bill reader. More specifically, I don’t know what nor where section 667.5 or subdivision (c) of Section 1192.7 is. There was some mention of that.
Otherwise, is this, per chance… a cushy loophole?? Perhaps one that senator Weiner purposely slipped in there?
which tier would be a person with 288 (a) from deadline NBC with no other history? Thank you
