Missing from that list are domestic violence, human trafficking and certain types of assault and rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservatives have been using those omissions as a \u003ca href=\"https://kmph.com/news/local/why-opposition-voted-down-sen-groves-human-trafficking-bill-and-local-reaction-about-it\">cudgel\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-20-crime/\">to\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/05/anne-marie-schubert-attorney-general/\">beat\u003c/a> “criminal justice reform”-aligned Democrats ever since. In the past, Bonta has hinted at \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JeremyBWhite/status/1499552457969389570?s=20&t=Uv-MYDlUPGRjjYr8jNUM6A\">possible tweaks\u003c/a> to the law that he would support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the CalMatters interview, he was more explicit: “Domestic violence, human trafficking, rape of an unconscious person, all of those should be discussed, and potentially changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Death penalty and cash bail, reconsidered\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Unlike Hochman, Bonta has a lengthy political record as a legislator. And it’s a telling one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, he co-authored a bill to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/08/california-bail-reform-splinters-left/\">ban county courts from setting cash bail\u003c/a> for people awaiting trial, instead leaving the decision about whether a person should go free or not to a judge using “risk-assessment tools.” That bill was signed into law. But \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-election-2020/2020/11/what-the-failure-of-prop-25-means-for-racial-justice-in-california/\">voters nixed that idea in a 2020 referendum\u003c/a> funded by the bail bond industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That public rebuke hasn’t changed Bonta’s mind. He argued that voters may have been wary of the risk-assessment system that would have replaced the current system, which he acknowledged was “not perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cash bail, he insisted, remains unpopular — and manifestly unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that the current bail system punishes poor people for being poor, makes the jailhouse door swing open and closed based on how much money you have in your pocket, and judges you based on the size of your wallet, instead of the size of your risk,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While in the Assembly, Bonta also supported a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200ACA12\">proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> to officially end the death penalty in California. That’s despite the fact that California voters have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/02/california-death-penalty-end/\">repeatedly turned down that opportunity\u003c/a>, including as recently as 2016. California hasn’t executed a prisoner since 2006, and in 2019 Newsom declared a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2019/03/gavin-newsom-halts-executions-california/\">moratorium\u003c/a> on the practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said that if a capital punishment ban were to return to the ballot, he would support it. But he also stressed that, for now, his personal views do not trump current law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Playing a 'dangerous game,' but 'responsibly'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Last year, before the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/abortion-rights/2022/06/california-abortion-roe-ruling/\">ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion entirely\u003c/a> in June, Texas lawmakers came up with a clever way to effectively ban most abortions in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than have law enforcement enforce the restriction on ending a pregnancy after six weeks, a \u003ca href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/SB00008F.pdf\">state law gave individual Texans the right to sue health care providers\u003c/a>, patients or anyone who “aided and abetted” an abortion, with the potential promise of a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2022/08/bounty-hunting-abortion-guns/\">$10,000 bounty\u003c/a> per violation. Because the state wasn’t enforcing the policy, the law was \u003ca href=\"https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/11/court-seems-inclined-to-let-abortion-providers-pursue-their-challenge-to-texas-law/\">harder to challenge in court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Supreme Court let the Texas law stand, Newsom clapped back, proposing a similarly structured bounty bill aimed at those who \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2021/12/texas-abortion-ban-newsom-assault-weapons/\">violate certain California gun laws\u003c/a>. Bonta, whose office \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/Brief%20of%20Mass.%20et%20al.%20in%2021-463%20and%2021-588.pdfA_.pdf\">vociferously opposed\u003c/a> the Texas law, helped craft the California version and was one of its most vocal public champions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporters and commentators have described the California rejoinder as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2022/7/25/23277211/supreme-court-gavin-newsom-sb-8-abortion-guns-california-assault-rifle-law\">trolling\u003c/a>,” a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/californias-new-gun-bill-is-bad-law-and-dumb-politics\">legislative stunt\u003c/a>” and a blue state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/gavin-newsom-taunts-texas-on-guns-abortion-sb8-11660154256\">taunt\u003c/a>” of a conservative Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta insisted that the law is an earnest effort to “save lives,” but also acknowledged that it was meant to call the high court’s bluff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re using it in the best way that it can be used, in a way that advances California values,” he said. “But it’s dangerous. It’s a dangerous game. We’re using it responsibly. Now others can use it like Texas, and maybe the Supreme Court will look at the landscape of how this approach is being used and try to correct it. If that happens, that’s fine, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Ready to try again on concealed carry\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most high-profile setback of Bonta’s tenure to date was the failure of a bill his office wrote that would have made it more difficult for Californians to apply for the right to carry concealed firearms and that would have placed new restrictions on where they can take those guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failed proposal was a response to another \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/criminal-justice/2022/06/california-gun-laws-supreme-court/\">controversial decision by the U.S. Supreme Court\u003c/a> in June. This one barred states from requiring concealed carry applicants to prove that they have a compelling need. Bonta’s proposed legislative workaround would have instead introduced “objective” restrictions, such as a prolonged training course requirement and a psychological assessment. It also designated arenas and other public gathering places and most private businesses as gun-free “sensitive” places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite arm-twisting by Bonta himself, the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-legislature/2022/09/california-concealed-carry-bill/\">bill died in the final hours of the legislative session\u003c/a>, the victim of law enforcement opposition, an overly confident legislative strategy and rifts within the Assembly’s Democratic ranks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said his sense of urgency remains as acute as ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be, and there have been, huge spikes in the number of applicants,” he said. “We believe that it’s important to have a constitutional regime that allows for those who should constitutionally have a concealed carry weapon to have (one), but to take the steps to make sure that we are doing everything constitutionally permissible to keep people safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta echoed comments made by the bill’s author, state Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Glendale Democrat, who said that he would like to see the bill, or some version of it, introduced as soon as the next session begins in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That plan hit a possible speed bump late last month. Where California’s bill failed, a similar proposal in New York was signed into law, only for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/06/nyregion/judge-blocks-ny-gun-law.html\">federal judge to rule this month\u003c/a> that its long list of “sensitive places” is unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we need to look at that, and maybe it is over-broad,” Bonta said, “and we should take that to heart … and respond appropriately with any new (similar) bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Attorney General Rob Bonta talks about rising crime, affordable housing, concealed guns and other priorities if he wins a full term.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1665706782,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":42,"wordCount":1941},"headData":{"title":"What Would Rob Bonta Do Next As California Attorney General? | KQED","description":"Attorney General Rob Bonta talks about rising crime, affordable housing, concealed guns and other priorities if he wins a full term.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"What Would Rob Bonta Do Next As California Attorney General?","datePublished":"2022-10-13T23:38:46.000Z","dateModified":"2022-10-14T00:19:42.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11928761 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11928761","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2022/10/13/what-would-rob-bonta-do-next-as-california-attorney-general/","disqusTitle":"What Would Rob Bonta Do Next As California Attorney General?","nprByline":"\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/author/ben-christopher/\">Ben Christopher\u003c/a>","excludeFromSiteSearch":"Include","showOnAuthorArchivePages":"No","path":"/news/11928761/what-would-rob-bonta-do-next-as-california-attorney-general","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>California’s attorney general is often described as the state’s top prosecutor, but that shorthand doesn’t do the position justice.

Missing from that list are domestic violence, human trafficking and certain types of assault and rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservatives have been using those omissions as a \u003ca href=\"https://kmph.com/news/local/why-opposition-voted-down-sen-groves-human-trafficking-bill-and-local-reaction-about-it\">cudgel\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/election-2020-guide/proposition-20-crime/\">to\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/05/anne-marie-schubert-attorney-general/\">beat\u003c/a> “criminal justice reform”-aligned Democrats ever since. In the past, Bonta has hinted at \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JeremyBWhite/status/1499552457969389570?s=20&t=Uv-MYDlUPGRjjYr8jNUM6A\">possible tweaks\u003c/a> to the law that he would support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the CalMatters interview, he was more explicit: “Domestic violence, human trafficking, rape of an unconscious person, all of those should be discussed, and potentially changed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>3. Death penalty and cash bail, reconsidered\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Unlike Hochman, Bonta has a lengthy political record as a legislator. And it’s a telling one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2018, he co-authored a bill to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2018/08/california-bail-reform-splinters-left/\">ban county courts from setting cash bail\u003c/a> for people awaiting trial, instead leaving the decision about whether a person should go free or not to a judge using “risk-assessment tools.” That bill was signed into law. But \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-election-2020/2020/11/what-the-failure-of-prop-25-means-for-racial-justice-in-california/\">voters nixed that idea in a 2020 referendum\u003c/a> funded by the bail bond industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That public rebuke hasn’t changed Bonta’s mind. He argued that voters may have been wary of the risk-assessment system that would have replaced the current system, which he acknowledged was “not perfect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But cash bail, he insisted, remains unpopular — and manifestly unfair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I believe that the current bail system punishes poor people for being poor, makes the jailhouse door swing open and closed based on how much money you have in your pocket, and judges you based on the size of your wallet, instead of the size of your risk,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While in the Assembly, Bonta also supported a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200ACA12\">proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> to officially end the death penalty in California. That’s despite the fact that California voters have \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2022/02/california-death-penalty-end/\">repeatedly turned down that opportunity\u003c/a>, including as recently as 2016. California hasn’t executed a prisoner since 2006, and in 2019 Newsom declared a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2019/03/gavin-newsom-halts-executions-california/\">moratorium\u003c/a> on the practice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said that if a capital punishment ban were to return to the ballot, he would support it. But he also stressed that, for now, his personal views do not trump current law.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>4. Playing a 'dangerous game,' but 'responsibly'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Last year, before the U.S. Supreme Court \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/abortion-rights/2022/06/california-abortion-roe-ruling/\">ended the federal constitutional right to an abortion entirely\u003c/a> in June, Texas lawmakers came up with a clever way to effectively ban most abortions in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than have law enforcement enforce the restriction on ending a pregnancy after six weeks, a \u003ca href=\"https://capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/87R/billtext/pdf/SB00008F.pdf\">state law gave individual Texans the right to sue health care providers\u003c/a>, patients or anyone who “aided and abetted” an abortion, with the potential promise of a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/2022/08/bounty-hunting-abortion-guns/\">$10,000 bounty\u003c/a> per violation. Because the state wasn’t enforcing the policy, the law was \u003ca href=\"https://www.scotusblog.com/2021/11/court-seems-inclined-to-let-abortion-providers-pursue-their-challenge-to-texas-law/\">harder to challenge in court\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the Supreme Court let the Texas law stand, Newsom clapped back, proposing a similarly structured bounty bill aimed at those who \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2021/12/texas-abortion-ban-newsom-assault-weapons/\">violate certain California gun laws\u003c/a>. Bonta, whose office \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/Brief%20of%20Mass.%20et%20al.%20in%2021-463%20and%2021-588.pdfA_.pdf\">vociferously opposed\u003c/a> the Texas law, helped craft the California version and was one of its most vocal public champions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reporters and commentators have described the California rejoinder as “\u003ca href=\"https://www.vox.com/2022/7/25/23277211/supreme-court-gavin-newsom-sb-8-abortion-guns-california-assault-rifle-law\">trolling\u003c/a>,” a “\u003ca href=\"https://www.thedailybeast.com/californias-new-gun-bill-is-bad-law-and-dumb-politics\">legislative stunt\u003c/a>” and a blue state’s “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/gavin-newsom-taunts-texas-on-guns-abortion-sb8-11660154256\">taunt\u003c/a>” of a conservative Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta insisted that the law is an earnest effort to “save lives,” but also acknowledged that it was meant to call the high court’s bluff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re using it in the best way that it can be used, in a way that advances California values,” he said. “But it’s dangerous. It’s a dangerous game. We’re using it responsibly. Now others can use it like Texas, and maybe the Supreme Court will look at the landscape of how this approach is being used and try to correct it. If that happens, that’s fine, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>5. Ready to try again on concealed carry\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The most high-profile setback of Bonta’s tenure to date was the failure of a bill his office wrote that would have made it more difficult for Californians to apply for the right to carry concealed firearms and that would have placed new restrictions on where they can take those guns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The failed proposal was a response to another \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/justice/criminal-justice/2022/06/california-gun-laws-supreme-court/\">controversial decision by the U.S. Supreme Court\u003c/a> in June. This one barred states from requiring concealed carry applicants to prove that they have a compelling need. Bonta’s proposed legislative workaround would have instead introduced “objective” restrictions, such as a prolonged training course requirement and a psychological assessment. It also designated arenas and other public gathering places and most private businesses as gun-free “sensitive” places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite arm-twisting by Bonta himself, the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/california-legislature/2022/09/california-concealed-carry-bill/\">bill died in the final hours of the legislative session\u003c/a>, the victim of law enforcement opposition, an overly confident legislative strategy and rifts within the Assembly’s Democratic ranks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta said his sense of urgency remains as acute as ever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be, and there have been, huge spikes in the number of applicants,” he said. “We believe that it’s important to have a constitutional regime that allows for those who should constitutionally have a concealed carry weapon to have (one), but to take the steps to make sure that we are doing everything constitutionally permissible to keep people safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bonta echoed comments made by the bill’s author, state Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Glendale Democrat, who said that he would like to see the bill, or some version of it, introduced as soon as the next session begins in December.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That plan hit a possible speed bump late last month. Where California’s bill failed, a similar proposal in New York was signed into law, only for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/06/nyregion/judge-blocks-ny-gun-law.html\">federal judge to rule this month\u003c/a> that its long list of “sensitive places” is unconstitutional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we need to look at that, and maybe it is over-broad,” Bonta said, “and we should take that to heart … and respond appropriately with any new (similar) bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11928761/what-would-rob-bonta-do-next-as-california-attorney-general","authors":["byline_news_11928761"],"categories":["news_6188","news_8","news_13"],"tags":["news_17699","news_4016","news_3674"],"affiliates":["news_18481"],"featImg":"news_11928763","label":"news_18481"},"news_11855277":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11855277","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11855277","score":null,"sort":[1610653657000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"immigration-court-fees-set-to-jump-dramatically-unless-judge-intervenes","title":"Immigration Court Fees Set to Jump Dramatically Unless Judge Intervenes","publishDate":1610653657,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{"site":"news"},"content":"\u003cp>Unless a federal judge intervenes after a hearing Thursday, a new Trump administration rule will dramatically increase the court fees asylum seekers and other immigrants must pay to defend themselves from deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four nonprofit legal service providers, in California and elsewhere, sued last month to block the \u003ca href=\"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/12/18/2020-27506/executive-office-for-immigration-review-fee-review\">new rule\u003c/a> by the U.S. Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR), which houses immigration courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Cristina dos Santos, immigration rights attorney\"]'We have clients who struggle even to pay the bus fare that it would take to get to our offices to receive our services.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes, scheduled to take effect the day before President-elect Joe Biden takes office, would triple the filing costs for some forms and motions in deportation — also known as “removal” — proceedings.

Lawmakers also allowed other states to follow California’s standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move over the decades has at times led to two different pollution and related mileage standards, one set by California and the states that follow it, and a federal one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erik Baptist, a former senior deputy general counsel with the EPA in the Trump administration, said the administration’s strongest argument would be that another law, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, gives the federal government sole authority to regulate automotive greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California essentially is setting fuel economy standards by regulating greenhouse gas emissions, said Baptist, now a partner with Wiley Rein LLP in Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a national economy,” Baptist said. “You can’t have fuel economy standards for each individual state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But former EPA officials who worked on emissions standards say the Trump administration is on shaky ground in its challenge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janet McCabe, former acting assistant EPA administrator for air and radiation, said California has the legal power through the Clean Air Act to regulate auto pollutants that include greenhouse gases. “Their job is to reduce emissions,” she said. “They’re not regulating fuel economy, they’re regulating emissions,” said McCabe, now a professor at Indiana University’s McKinney School of Law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Hannon, a retired EPA lawyer with decades of experience involving emissions, said it would be very hard to deny California waiver from national automobile emissions standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Congress set it up to give incredible deference to California’s authority to protect the health and safety of its residents,” said Hannon, referring to the Clean Air Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baptist expects the Supreme Court will eventually rule in the dispute, including a determination on whether the federal government has the authority to pre-empt California’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11772675/trump-challenges-california-power-to-control-auto-pollution","authors":["byline_news_11772675"],"programs":["news_72"],"categories":["news_19906","news_8","news_356"],"tags":["news_21693","news_4016","news_20452"],"featImg":"news_11750905","label":"source_news_11772675"},"news_11664041":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11664041","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11664041","score":null,"sort":[1524425512000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"five-indicted-in-alleged-80-million-california-recycling-fraud","title":"Five Indicted in Alleged $80 Million Recycling Fraud","publishDate":1524425512,"format":"standard","headTitle":"The California Report | KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>California has charged five people with defrauding the state's recycling program out of $80.3 million — the largest alleged fraud scheme in the program's history, officials said Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owner and four employees of Recycling Services Alliance Corporation are charged with swindling the state's beverage container recycling program over several years by accepting recyclables purchased in other states and faking the paperwork, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery said it's the \u003ca href=\"http://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/NewsRoom/2018/04April/09.htm\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">largest ever alleged fraud\u003c/a> involving the 5- or 10-cent deposits consumers pay on certain beverage containers.

By May 2017, that number will have dropped by more than half, to 14,000, Yates wrote. The Bureau of Prisons tends to use contract facilities to confine inmates who require only low security and who tend to be in the country illegally.

Separately, the department was forced to deal with a scandal over a group of officers who were found to have exchanged \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-text-messaging-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">racist and homophobic text messages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines,\" Zimring said. \"It's doing something without doing a lot, and it's win-win.

The Justice Department can do that through what's often called a \"pattern-of-practice\" investigation. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division has brought lawsuits that launched that level of intervention in Baltimore, Chicago, and Ferguson, Missouri, among other major cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines'\u003ccite>Professor Franklin Zimring,\u003cbr>\nUC Berkeley Law\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"This is much less than that,\" said Franklin Zimring, law professor at UC Berkeley. \"There is a marriage of more than convenience here because what San Francisco needs is someone to take the heat off its chief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimring said San Francisco police had a very low rate of fatal officer-involved shootings between 2009 and 2012, when he studied use of force in 14 major police departments. But last year, use of deadly force spiked. Separately, the department was forced to deal with a scandal over a group of officers who were found to have exchanged \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/tag/sfpd-text-messaging-scandal\" target=\"_blank\">racist and homophobic text messages\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"COPS is going to be helping out the Police Department in two ways: It takes them off the hook from doing something -- a lot better than either firing the chief or putting out bold new guidelines,\" Zimring said. \"It's doing something without doing a lot, and it's win-win. COPS looks good and doesn't invest anything, and the San Francisco Police Department can write a letter explaining that they're doing something.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Weisberg, a professor at Stanford Law School, said a voluntary COPS review is the lightest of several actions federal attorneys can take. He said it's \"a kind of mediation\" that allows the Justice Department to offer assistance in improving a police department's programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sometimes that carries with it the implication that it would be a good idea for the police department to cooperate, otherwise the Department of Justice might take stronger measures,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weisberg said stronger action could include an investigation through the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, federal prosecution of individual officers for a particular shooting or incident, court-ordered reform and monitoring (as in Oakland) or a contractual agreement between Justice and the SFPD.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department.'\u003ccite>Supervisor Malia Cohen\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Board of Supervisors President London Breed says a voluntary COPS review isn't an adequate answer to calls she and \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=4222075&GUID=07DD3884-E52F-4082-AA2C-F854CF8EDAA6\" target=\"_blank\">other supervisors\u003c/a> have made for a federal civil rights probe. She says she still wants that, and thinks an enforcement mechanism is important for the Police Department to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s good, but it isn’t completely our request,\" Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Malia Cohen, who represents the Bayview neighborhood in which Woods was shot, echoed Breed's statements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we’ve been calling for is an introspective look into the pattern and practices of the Police Department,\" Cohen said. \"I just want to make sure that the DOJ is not making an announcement of the COPS office in lieu of the Civil Rights Division. I welcome both to come in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most detailed call for a federal investigation of the SFPD since the shooting came Friday from the Northern California branch of the American Civil Liberties Union. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/docs/20160129-aclu_letter_requesting_independent_investigation_into_sfpd.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">ACLU's letter\u003c/a> documents concerns over excessive use of deadly force, biased policing, interactions with mentally ill people, and \"system failures\" around discipline and accountability in the department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also calls for a \"pattern and practice investigation into the San Francisco Police Department for civil rights violations.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Early indications show that this will not go far enough to fix the systemic racism and problems in the San Francisco Police Department,\" ACLU staff attorney Micaela Davis said. \"We need the strong DOJ investigation in order to have full accountability on those issues. Anything less is not going to be sufficient.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davis referenced Mayor Lee's and Chief Suhr's \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/01/29/s-f-district-attorney-calls-out-mayor-for-lip-service-on-police-reform\" target=\"_blank\">less-than-enthusiastic participation\u003c/a> with District Attorney George Gascón's initiative to probe the Police Departments culture and practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are concerned that the mayor may be using this announcement to take attention away from an ongoing responsibility to cooperate with local efforts and reform,\" Davis said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10851435/feds-launching-comprehensive-review-of-s-f-police-department","authors":["3206"],"programs":["news_6944"],"categories":["news_6188"],"tags":["news_4016","news_18961","news_545"],"featImg":"news_10851534","label":"news_6944"}},"programsReducer":{"possible":{"id":"possible","title":"Possible","info":"Possible is hosted by entrepreneur Reid Hoffman and writer Aria Finger.
