AB 904 (Chau)-Search Warrants: Tracking DevicesCODE: PC 1534

Now 1534 does not specifically authorize (but allows) the use of any device or software for the purpose of tracking the movement of a person or object.

A warrant is required to utilize remote tracking software on a phone to track physical movements.

WHY THE BILL?

According to the Author: “Penal Code Section 1534 currently requires search warrants prior to an officer 'installing atracking device or serving a warrant on a third-party possessor of the tracking data.' It is,however, no longer necessary for an officer to make physical contact with a device, person,or vehicle to 'install' a 'device' in order to track an individual.

p. 7

Provides that if a law enforcement agency utilizes software to track a person'smovements, whether in conjunction with a third party or by interacting directlywith a person's electronic device, the provisions for obtaining a tracking devicesearch warrant apply.

Page 22: PowerPoint Presentation...that, based on the totality of the circumstances, destroys the mental or emotional calm of the other party. Conduct includes . coercive control, examples

WHAT THIS BILL MEANS

In addition to PC 1534 requirements, agencies must continue to comply with the California Electronic Communications Privacy Act (CalECPA).

CalECPA = get a warrant for phone or online searches

In the case of emergency warrants, it does not appear to interfere with Missouri v. McNeely (2013) case law, where it clearly defines exigent situations where a warrant is not necessary.

p. 13SB 1141 (Rubio)-Domestic violence: coercive controlCODES: FC 6320

Page 24: PowerPoint Presentation...that, based on the totality of the circumstances, destroys the mental or emotional calm of the other party. Conduct includes . coercive control, examples

WHAT THIS BILL MEANS:

In writing a police report, if an officer needs to articulate that a person is “disturbing thepeace” of a protected person based on the new criteria of “coercive control”, the officer willneed to articulate in the report that the offender unreasonably interfered with a protectedparty’s free will and personal liberty to interact with family, friends or household members.

p. 13SB 1141 (Rubio) (cont’d)

When officers are seeking a restraining order under the Domestic Violence Prevention Act,they should ask specific questions about the suspect’s actions. This bill elaborates on whatactions would “disturb the peace of the victim.” Officers should consider things such as:

• Did the suspect do anything to damage the mental or emotional well-being of thevictim?

• Did the suspect disturb the victim’s peace by using a third party or electronic form ofcommunication?

• Was the suspect coercive and controlling? Meaning did they isolate the victim fromfriends and family? Did they coerce the victim to do things they didn’t want to do or stopthem from doing things they did want to do? Did the suspect control the victim’sfinances, access to services or other resources?

If any of these actions are present, SB 1141 has clarified that such actions are potentiallygrounds for a restraining order.

SB 723 (Jones)- Firearms: prohibited personsCODES: PC 29800, 29805 and 29851

p. 43

Clarifies in both Penal Code sections that a person with an active arrest warrant fora prohibited (from firearms possession) offense must have knowledge of thewarrant in order to be criminally liable as a person prohibited from possessing afirearm.

WHAT THIS BILL MEANS TO YOU:

• The arresting officer must clearly state in their arrest report that thesuspect had knowledge of the warrant.

• Best Practice: Ask the subject if they knew they had a warrant for theirarrest and document what they said in the arrest report.

Why The Need for the Bill?

Author’s Statement: “A new section was recently added to the Penal Code specifying thatthe prohibition against a person with an outstanding warrant does not apply if the personlacked knowledge of the outstanding warrant. However, few practitioners are aware of theexistence of this exception because it was originally mis-numbered and placed in its ownsection of the Penal Code, then re-numbered through the annual Maintenance of the CodesBill but still separated from the section that prohibits possession

"In California over the past few months, there have been severalhigh-profile acts of deadly force at the hands of law enforcement.In a few incidents, there have been calls for independentinvestigations by the Attorney General. However, all of theserequests were denied by the CA Department of Justice.

Now more than ever there needs to be a uniform standard forlocal law enforcement officials and district attorneys to call forindependent investigations into police killings. Police shouldn'tpolice themselves, and the current system is fraught with conflictsof interest.”
